Interpretation: The resonance structures for the radical that result from the removal of the labeled
Concept introduction: Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These are the hypothetical structures and do not specify the exact structure. These resonance structure combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
The delocalization of electrons results in the formation resonance structure.

- identify which is the most and least basic among the given. refer to the number and stability of their resonance structure.arrow_forwardA benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.arrow_forwardPlease provide explanationarrow_forward
- Hydrocarbon A possesses a significant dipole, even though it iscomposed of only C—C and C—H bonds. Explain why the dipole arisesand use resonance structures to illustrate the direction of the dipole.Which ring is more electron rich?arrow_forwardDraw the important resonance structures for the following ion.arrow_forwardAll are true or false a) A radical contains an atom that has an octet of electrons. b) Chlorination is faster than bromination. c) Less stable radicals generally do not rearrange to more stable radicals.arrow_forward
- Draw a curved arrow mechanism to show the two resonance forms of the intermediate formed in the second electrophilic addition steps. You will need to modify the structure of the starting material to show this intermediate. Remember to include lone pairs and all nonzero formal charges. الملاحة Draw the structure of the intermediate in the second electrophilic addition and curved arrows to show resonance.arrow_forwardProvide the bond line structure of a compound that is able to undergo Allylic lone pair and allylic carbocation resonance. Provide all resonance structures and appropriate arrows. Indicate which resonance state is most stable and why.arrow_forwardPlease answer all of it. If not, please skip. Draw the structure of a branched hydrocarbon that also contains at least one atom with trigonal planar geometry. Draw the structure of an aromatic hydrocarbon containing two halogens. Draw the structure of a molecule containing an aliphatic primary amine and a carboxyl group. Draw the structure of an acyclic molecule containing a primary and a secondary alcohol group. Draw the structure of an achiral tertiary alcoholarrow_forward
- Determining the Relative Energy of Resonance Structures and the Hybrid Draw a second resonance structure for carbocation A, as well as the hybrid of both resonance structures. Then use Rules [1]–[3] to rank the relative stability of both resonance structures and the hybrid.arrow_forwardA or hv ? ннarrow_forwardNitration of an aromatic ring involves an electrophilic substitution reaction. Draw the structure of the electrophile that is attacked by the aromatic ring and the intermediate formed after attachment of the electrophile to the ring. Be sure to show formal charges.arrow_forward
