Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The more stable species has to be identified from the given species.
Concept Introduction:
Features that decrease the predicted stability:
- An atom with an incomplete octet.
- A negative charge that is not on the most electronegative atom.
- A positive charge on that is on an electronegative atom.
- Charge separation.
Resonance is an electron displacement effect for stabilizing a molecule through delocalization of bonding electrons in the pi orbital.
Delocalized electrons stabilize a compound. The extra stability gains from having delocalized electrons are called resonance stabilization or resonance energy.

- " is The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: :Ö: HO + Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH: 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO₂ 2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.arrow_forwardWhich of these is the best use of a volumetric flask? measuring how much liquid it contains delivering a precise amount of liquid to another container holding solutions making solutions of precise concentrationarrow_forwardYou're competing on a Great British television game show, and you need to bake a cake.
