Chapter 10.SE, Problem 37AP

Interpretation Introduction

a)

Interpretation:

The resonance structures for the species are to be given.

Concept introduction:

Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π bonding and lone-pair of electrons. The position of atoms does not differ in different structures. The movement of electrons from one resonance structure to other is indicated with curved arrows.

To draw:

The resonance structures for the species given.
