1. Draw all resonance structures for the following molecule: F OH 2. From the resonance forms you provided in question 1, which resonance form has the most stable electronic configuration and therefore makes a major contribution to the overall structure. Describe why it makes a better contribution than the other structures given. You can label your resonance forms above to make your discussion more succinct.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Resonance structure:
If the Lewis structure of a molecule or ion cannot explain by a single structure then more than one Lewis structures are written, these Lewis structures are different by the position of the lone pair of electrons and the pi bond. These structures are called resonance structures. The position of the atoms does not change in all the resonance structures.
 
The movement of pi electrons in resonance structures is shown by the curved arrow.
