Chapter 11, Problem 11.8YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonance structures of the vinylic cation in Equation $\text{11-17}$ to explain the regiochemistry of the first addition are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

In vinylic carbocation, the carbon atom having the open octet and positive formal charge is part of a carbon-carbon double bond. The carbocation carbon has sp hybridization. Resonance structures are sets of Lewis structures that describe the delocalization of electrons in a polyatomic ion or a molecule.
