(a)
Interpretation:
All the resonance structures of the given specie are to be drawn, with curved arrows indicating which electrons are shifted. The resonance hybrid of the specie is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structures are alternate valid Lewis structures in which pi electrons and/or lone pair electrons are distributed in different positions. Resonance structures must follow the usual rules of Lewis structures. The connectivity of the atoms must remain the same.
The resonance hybrid is a weighted average of all resonance structures.
(b)
Interpretation:
All the resonance structures of the given specie are to be drawn, with curved arrows indicating which electrons are shifted. The resonance hybrid of the specie is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structures are alternate valid Lewis structures in which pi electrons and/or lone pair electrons are distributed in different positions. Resonance structures must follow the usual rules of Lewis structures. The connectivity of the atoms must remain the same.

(c)
Interpretation:
All the resonance structures of the given specie are to be drawn, with curved arrows indicating which electrons are shifted. The resonance hybrid of the specie is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:

The resonance hybrid is a weighted average of all resonance structures.
(d)
Interpretation:
All the resonance structures of each of the given specie are to be drawn, with curved arrows indicating which electrons are shifted. The resonance hybrid of the specie is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structures are alternate valid Lewis structures in which pi electrons and/or lone pair electrons are distributed in different positions. Resonance structures must follow the usual rules of Lewis structures. The connectivity of the atoms must remain the same.

PPh3 3 2. n-BuLi • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forward
