4. One of the resonance structures of "tropylium ion" (C-H7*) is shown below. It is planar and aromatic with Hückel number of p-t electrons where n=1. Draw all the other contributing resonance structures. (There are more than two.) Based on the "average" of the contributing resonance structures, how close does the average ring carbon get to its "octet" in tropylium ion?

The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions.Because each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCl.
