Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The more important resonance contributor from A and B is to be determined, and the reason behind this is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The relative stabilities of resonance structures depend on the number of non-hydrogen atoms obeying the octet rule, the total number of bonds, the number of atoms bearing a formal charge, and charge stability.
Higher the number of non-hydrogen atoms obeying the octet rule and higher the number of bonds, more stable is the structure. Lower the number of atoms with formal charge, more stable is the structure. A positive charge is more stable on a relatively less electronegative atom, and more stable near an electron donating group. An electron-withdrawing group destabilizes a positive charge. Closer the electron-withdrawing group to a positive charge more is the destabilization.

Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
