Draw two significant resonance structures for the molecule below (start at the same site of instability for both). Only one lone pair and formal charge are provided; provide any formal charges and lone pairs that are missing on the original structure and on your resonance forms. Make sure to draw curved arrows correctly (starting from a bond/lone pair) and be very clear where the head of the arrow is pointing. Finally, rank them from most stable to least stable and justify your choices. The skeleton for your resonance is provided.
Assign the correct formal charge to the oxygen atom in this structure (you may right click on the atom and use the Charge menu, or use the + and - buttons on the graphical toolbar). Once the correct formal charges have been placed, identify all atoms with a reasonable formal charge by setting the map number to 1, and those with an unreasonably large formal charge by setting the map number to 2. HINT: all of the hydrogen atoms are already shown.
