Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The formal charge on the O atom in the given species that contains a multiple bond to O is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Formal charge is the electrostatic charge an atom in a molecule or polyatomic ion if all bonding electron are shared equally between pairs of atoms. The formal charge for an atom in a molecule or ion is calculated on the basis of the Lewis structure of the molecule or ion.

Considering the structure on the far left as the original resonance structure, which of the subsequent resonance structures (A-D) is implausible.   Explain why you believe the resonance structure to be implausible.
If a molecule requires two or more resonance structures to draw it, which of the following statements is true? Select one: A. The molecule does not have a single structure but dynamically oscillates between the resonance structures drawn for it. B. The molecule has lower energy than the computed energy of any of the resonance structures that are drawn for it. O C. The molecule is less stable than any of the resonance structures drawn for it. D. The molecule's resonance structures coexist in an equilibrium with the lower energy form predominating.
1. Draw all resonance structures for each of the following molecules or ions. Be sure to include curved arrows that indicate which pair of electrons are shifted in going (flowing) from one resonance structure to the next. a. b. C. 0-2,000
