Chapter 1, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The resonance Lewis structure (if possible) for compounds in problem 25 and 28 needs to be represented using the electron-pushing arrows. The major contributor of the resonance hybrid needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The compound undergoes resonance, if there is possibility of delocalization of pi electrons. It is possible if there is an alternative double bond with charge or lone pair of the electrons on an atom. In the resonance, movement of electrons takes place from negative to positive charge and this movement is represented by curved arrows.
