(a)
Interpretation: The two possible resonance structures for the radical formed by the homolysis of indicated bond in propene are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: In
Resonance is the delocalisation of
(b)
Interpretation: The half-headed curved arrows are to be used to illustrate the conversion of one resonance structure to other.
Concept introduction: Curved arrows aid in determining the movement and flow of electrons in the reaction. The electrons that take part in the
Half headed arrows are used to show the flow of single electrons, while the full headed arrow shows the movement of electron pairs.
(c)
Interpretation: The structure of the resonance hybrid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Resonance is the delocalisation of
