Interpretation:
To draw the maximum resonance structures possible for the species
Concept introduction:
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π and nonbonding valence electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. For writing different resonance forms in the structure given, first a three atom groupings with a multiple bond and a p orbital with pair of electrons is to be identified. Then the exchange of position of double bond and electrons in p orbital will give another resonance form. The shift is represented by a curved arrow.

Answer to Problem 38AP
The maximum resonance structures possible for the species is two.
Explanation of Solution
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π and their nonbonding valence electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. The anion has a carbon atom doubly bonded to an oxygen and singly bonded to an adjacent carbon atom bearing negative charge. Using the nonbonding electrons on the negatively charged carbon atom and the π bond one more structure can be drawn, as shown, without change in position or hybridization of any atom. Hence the species given has two resonance forms.

The maximum resonance structures possible for the species is three.
Explanation of Solution
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π and their nonbonding valence electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. The anion given has a carbon atom doubly bonded to another carbon and singly bonded to an adjacent carbon atom bearing negative charge. Another double bond also is present. Using the nonbonding electrons on the negatively charged carbon atom and the π bonds two more structures can be drawn as shown, without change in position or hybridization of any atom. Hence the species given has three resonance forms.

The maximum resonance structures possible for the species is three.
Explanation of Solution
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π and their nonbonding valence electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. The cation given has a carbon doubly bonded to positively charged nitrogen and singly bonded to two more nitrogens each with a pair of nonbonding electrons. Using the nonbonding electrons on the nitrogens and the π bond in C=N, two more structures, as shown, can be drawn without change in position or hybridization of any atom. Hence the species given has three resonance forms.

Explanation of Solution
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π and their nonbonding valence electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. The cation given has a carbon atom singly bonded to a sulfur atom which has two lone pairs of electrons.

The maximum resonance structures possible for the species is three.
Explanation of Solution
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π and their nonbonding valence electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. In the cation given, the positively charged carbon is attached a carbon chain that contains two conjugated double bonds. Using the two π bonds two more structures can be drawn, as shown, without change in position or hybridization of any atom. Hence the species given has three resonance forms.

- Which carbocation is more stable?arrow_forwardAre the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?arrow_forward
