Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance structure and formal charges of the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The electron dot structures can be described as the structure in which electrons are represented around the atoms in the molecule.
In the resonance structure, the electrons are moved towards the more electronegative atoms and more positive charges. The arrow is originated from pi electrons or unshared electrons and move towards the more electronegative atoms and positive charges.
(b)
Interpretation:
The resonance structure and formal charges of the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The expression to calculate the formal charge of the substance is shown below:
The electron dot structures can be described as the structure in which electrons are represented around the atoms in the molecule.
In the resonance structure, the electrons are moved towards the more electro negativity atoms and more positive charges. The arrow will be originated from pi electrons or unshared pair of electrons and move towards the more electronegative atoms and positive charges.
