(a)
Interpretation:
To draw all reasonable resonance structures for the given species
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is an important concept in
The resonance structure must be shown in double headed resonance arrow to separate them. Example for the resonance structure is given below.
(b)
Interpretation:
To draw all reasonable resonance structures for the given species
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is an important concept in organic chemistry and it must be understand what it means exactly. The resonance structure does not mean the structure is flipping back and forth between the two structures. It is a static and an average of the two resonance structure. Simply, it is a mixture of all possible resonance structure. And it is the electron pairs drawn in different location in the structure that are delocalized. If the delocalization of electron density is in large volume then the resonance hybrid structure is a stable one.
The resonance structure must be shown in double headed resonance arrow to separate them. Example for the resonance structure is given below.
