Chapter 1, Problem 29P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The resonance structures of bicarbonate ion needs to be drawn with the use of electron pushing arrows and the form that will be the major contributor to the real structure of bicarbonate ion needs to be determined.

  

Concept Introduction:VSEPR theory stands as Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory. It helps to predict the molecular shape or geometry of the molecule with the help of the number of bond pair or lone pair present in it. According to VSEPR theory, the presence of lone pair on the central atom of molecule causes deviation from standard molecular geometry.

The resonance is the phenomenon in which if all the properties cannot explain by one structure, it can be shown in two or more structures by the shifting of pi bonds or lone pair but there is no change in sigma bond and position of atoms.
