(a)
Interpretation: The possible resonance structure for the given species is to be drawn.
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.
Answer to Problem 16.32P
The possible resonance structure for the given species is,
Explanation of Solution
The method by which overall delocalization of electrons can be described in a particular molecule is known as resonance.
The given species is shown below.
