Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The resonance structure of the given molecule is to be determined
Concept Introduction:
When the electron distribution of a molecule can be depicted correctly in more than one way using different Lewis structures, the drawings are called resonance structures.
Resonance structures have no discrete existence of their own but, taken in combination, describe the true structure of the molecule.

Draw the important resonance structures for the following ion.
The heats of hydrogenation of cycloheptene and 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene are 110 kJ/mol (26.3 kcal/mol) and 305 kJ/mol (73.0 kcal/mol), respectively. In both cases cycloheptane is the product. What is the resonance energy of 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene? How does it compare with the resonance energy of benzene?
Draw the structure of the product in the reaction. Draw applicable formal charges and the appropriate number of hydrogens on the nitrogen atom.
