Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance hybrid for the given compound has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The unshared electrons are called lone pair.
Curved arrows are necessary in drawing the resonance structure.
Curved arrows has a head indicating that the electrons are coming and tail indicating that the electrons are going.
The two rules in drawing the resonance structure is,
- Breaking of single bond is not allowed.
- Never exceed an octet for second row elements.
When a single Lewis structure does not represent a structure adequately, the true structure is the intermediate between the two or more structure referred to as resonance structure.
Resonance: The delocalization of electrons which is characterized as several structural changes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The resonance hybrid for the given compound has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The unshared electrons are called lone pair.
A negative charge means two lone pairs means and a positive charge means one lone pair
Curved arrows are necessary in drawing the resonance structure.
Curved arrows has a head indicating that the electrons are coming and tail indicating that the electrons are going.
