Question
Chapter 1, Problem 19PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Resonance structures that would result from moving the electrons by indicated curved arrowsfor the given structures are to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Resonating structures are structures that have more than one equivalent Lewis structure for the same molecule or ion.
Resonance structures have existence in paper only, thus, they are not real structures.
According to the convention, these structures are connected by double-headed arrows (
Movement of electrons is represented by curved arrows.
The energy of any contributing structure is higher than the energy of the resonance hybrid.
For equivalent resonating structures, the resonance stabilization is large.

The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6 is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Since each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCl.
Draw each of the species in Problem as a condensed formula.

Then we continue with step 5, if needed.arrow_forward
- I am wondering why there is a need for resoance structures if the molecule already has a neutral charge. Wouldn't these all be insignificant resonance structures (as there is unnecessary charge separation)? Perhaps they are only depicting these structures for the purpose of showing high/low electron density (which was what the question was asking for)? 1 picture shows answer, another shows problem (it is (b)).arrow_forwardIdentify all functional groups that are present in strychnine, a highly toxic alkaloid used as a pesticide to kill rodents, whose line structure is shown here.
