Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Categorization of resonance structures as “Equivalent” and “Not equivalent” resonance structure for the bases mentioned below should be determined.
Concept introduction: When one single structure is unable to describe all the properties of single molecule, a phenomenon called resonance comes into play. This arises when two or more than two Lewis structures are possible for one molecule. All such structures are called resonating structures and have same placement of atoms in them but these have different locations of bond pairs and lone pairs. The resonating structures are inter-convertible with each other. The resultant of all the resonating or contributing structures is called the resonance hybrid.
(b)
Interpretation: Resonance structure in base mentioned below that has lowest potential energy should be determined.

- O REPRESENTATIONS OF ORGANIC MOLECULES Ranking resonance structures Rank the resonance structures in each row of the table from major to minor. For example, in the first row, select (major) for the major resonance contributor. If two or more structures in the same row contribute equally, rank them equally by selecting the same number. H.

- Help! a.) Draw all the important resonance contributors for the structure shown below. Use curved arrows to show the movement of electrons between these contributors. b.) Draw the hybrid resonance hybrid structure.arrow_forward9. The two molecules shown below are structurally very similar. Draw all resonance structure for each species with curved arrows and circle which is molecule (A or B) is more stable because it has more resonance structures. Only use patterns 2 and 3. A Barrow_forwardFor the structure below a. Identify the longest conjugated system you can.b. Draw a resonance structure using curved arrows in which you push electrons from one end of the conjugated system all the way to the other end.arrow_forward
- Read This! The attractive and repulsive forces in an atom are rather complex. An electron is attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but it is also repelled by the other electrons in the atom. It is important to note however that the attractive force of the nucleus is NOT divided up among the electrons in the atom. Each electron gets approximately the full attractive force of the nucleus (minus the repulsive effects of other electrons). Compare the diagram below to set D in Model 3. Notice the similarity in attractive force. 0.10 nm 0.10 nm approx. 4.60 x 10-8 (on each electron) Model 4 – Period 3 Elements Aluminum Chlorine Sodium What does it MEAN? What do you WONDER? What do you SEE?arrow_forward2. Each resonance structure of a given molecule contributes to the resonance hybrid. The more stable the resonance structure, the more that resonance structure contributes to the resonance hybrid. For the following resonance structures, a. Circle the resonance structure that contributes most to the resonance hybrid. b. Explain your choice for a in complete sentences. c. Draw the resonance hybrid. d. Add curved arrows to indicate the flow of electrons in each structure except the D. H A Q Search B hyji C Darrow_forward2. Use curved arrows to show electron movement in the reactant side and draw the product/s of the Lewis acid-base (nucleophile-electrophile) reaction. Label the nucleophile and the electrophile. Draw in all lone pairs and charges where appropriate. Iarrow_forward
- Rank the following radicals in order of energy (most to least).arrow_forwardA. Determine whether the curved arrow(s) shown below generate a valid or invalid resonance structure. Draw the resonance structure that would result from each properly drawn arrow and identify the arrow pushing pattern (i.e. allylic positive charge, allylic lone pair, pi bond between atoms of a different electronegativity, lone pair adjacent to a positive charge, alternating pi bonds in a ring.arrow_forwardSolve correctly please.
