Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The bond order of each carbon-carbon bond in the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The positive charge which resides on each carbon of the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the structure on the right is not a reasonable resonance structure is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
