Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Curved arrows are to be shown that would convert A into B.
Concept introduction:
Resonating structures are structures that have more than one equivalent Lewis structure for the same molecule or ion.
According to the convention, these structures are connected by double-headed arrows (
Movement of electrons (whether bonding or lone pair) is indicated by curved arrows.
The rules for writing the resonance structures are:
Resonance structures have existence in paper only, they are not real structures.
While writing the resonance structures, movement of either double bonded electrons or lone pair of electrons are shown.
All structures should be correct Lewis structures.
The energy of any contributing structure is higher than the energy of the resonance hybrid.

- The instructions are to draw the resonance hybrid structure of the molecule on the left. My answer is circled , which is wrong. Can someone explain why?arrow_forwarda) Draw one isomer of C6H14. b) Draw one isomer of C6H12- c) Draw one isomer of C6H140 that exhibits hydrogen bonding. d) Draw one isomer of C6H140 that is not capable of hydrogen bonding. BONUS: Show all locations of possible hydrogen bonding for the C6H140 isomer that you drew above in part c.arrow_forwardx-xo B Draw molecule A. On that drawing include the lone pairs and the curved arrows that would produce resonance structure B.arrow_forward

A if both statements are true B if the 1st statement is false and the 2nd statement is true C if the 1st statement is true and the 2nd statement is false D if both statements are falsearrow_forwardDescribe with words how you would draw the curved arrow(s) to get to the more stable resonance form for the left-hand pair. Be sure to include how many curved arrows are needed and what atom (or bond) the electrons are coming from or going to. Do the same for the resonance pair on the right-hand side. more stable more stablearrow_forward

They are weaker than chemical bonds, but they play an important role in associations between molecules, such as forming mixtures or complex structures found in biomolecules. Most intermolecular forces are due to the unequal distribution of electrons in a molecule, leading to partial charges. The degree to which an atom attracts electrons toward itself in a molecule is its electronegativity. Atoms with the same or similar electronegativities (with differences of 2.0) form ionic bonds, and those with modest differences in electrnegatvities (between 0.4 and 2.0) form polar covalent bonds. Polar bonds are indicated with a +, where the + is on the atom with lower electronegativity (and a partial positive charge) while the is on the more electronegative, partially negative charged atom.
