Concept explainers
Interpretation: The important resonances of below molecules should be drawn.
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.
Rules to form resonance structure are as follows:
1. Use arrow types 1 and 2 for resonance structure of anions in movement of negative charge.
2. Use only arrow type 3 to move a positive charge for resonance structure of cations.
3. The sigma bond should not be broken. Any atom must not move from its place and total number of electrons must be same in all resonance structures.

Draw in all implied lone pairs. b. Draw in curved arrows that show the flow of electrons, making sure the arrows show the precise starting point and destination of the electrons. Label each arrow as: lp →→→л (p=lone pair) c. d. Rank the resonance structures from most stable to least based on the number of formal charges and atoms that lack an octet of electrons. ol-of-o.

- For the given compound, draw all significant resonance forms and rank them from most significant to least significant. Briefly explain the rankings. Part 1 Let's begin by considering which resonance patterns are present. First, add curved arrow(s) to show the resonance using the following pattern: a pi bond between two atoms of differing electronegativity. Modify the second structure given to draw the new resonance structure. Include relevant formal charges in your structure. Use the + and - tools to add/remove charges to an atom, and use the single bond tool to add/remove double bonds.

- 2) (cont.) In the box below each Lewis drawing, PRINT one of the three following ABBREVIATIONS to characterize that Lewis drawing's relevance to the molecule's ACTUAL structure. i) CRS (Contributing Resonance Structure) ii) RS (Resonance Structure but not a CRS) iii) NRS (Not a Resonance Structure)arrow_forwarda) Draw the Lewis structure for the molecule on the left (labeled as Molecule A above). Draw the Lewis structure which has minimum formal charges. b) Draw the correct Lewis structure for the molecule on the right (labeled as Molecule B above). Draw the Lewis structure which has minimum formal charges. c) Select the three TRUE statements from those provided below. The molecule on the right (Molecule B) is planar (all atoms lie within the same plane). The molecule on the left (Molecule A) is planar (all atoms lie within the same plane). The molecule on the right (Molecule B) has polar bonds. The molecule on the left (Molecule A) has polar bonds. We can distinguish between the two molecules (Molecule A and Molecule B) based upon their dipole moment.arrow_forward2.
