(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance structure for allyl cation is to be stated using the curved-arrow notation.
Concept introduction:
Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These are the hypothetical structures and do not specify the exact structure. The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure. The curved-arrow notation traces the flow of the electrons in a compound. This notation is used to derive the resonance structure.
