We can use single electron (fishhook) arrows to draw resonance structures just as we can with regular two electron arrows. When drawing resonance structures with pi bonds, the pi bond will be cleaved homolytically. Given the structure shown below, what resonance structure is invalid? benzyl radical: C: B: A: D:

The two molecules in the pictrue behave very differently in reactions. Though they are both neutral, it is possible to draw resonance structures to illustrate which atoms will have partial charges. In one of the molecules, a carbon of the double bond is partially positive while in the other it is partially negative. 1. Draw one resonance structure for each molecule below with only one positive and one negative charge in the left box. In the box to the right draw out the original structure with its partial charges, which can be determined from the resonance structures.
1. What is resonance contributor in which one or more atoms bears a formal change and the most stable resonance form? 2.what is the process of distributing electron pairs in a molecule? 3. Are organic molecules which are less sterically hindered more attractive than those which are more sterically hindered?
Consider Lewis formulas A, B, and C:(a) Are A, B, and C constitutional isomers, or are they resonance contributors? (b) Which have a negatively charged carbon? (c) Which have a positively charged carbon? (d) Which have a positively charged nitrogen? (e) Which have a negatively charged nitrogen? (f) What is the net charge on each? (g) Which is a more stable structure, A or B? Why? (h) Which is a more stable structure, B or C? Why? (i) What is the CNN geometry in each according to VSEPR?
In order to determine high and low electron density, is it necessary to include minor resonance structures? The textbook answer says 'significant resonance contributors suggest the areas of highest and lowest electron density.' Does this mean minor structures are also significant?
The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerfulmethod used by organic chemists to show the movement of electronsnot 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 andformed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Addcurved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use thecurved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X isconverted in Step [3] to phenol and HCl.
You will not find “hydroxide” in the stockroom, but you will find sodium hydroxide (NaOH) andpotassium hydroxide (KOH). Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is expensive and used in spacecraft airfilters since hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide, and lithium is lighter than sodium or potassium.Cesium and francium hydroxides are very expensive and little used. Is this information consistentwith your answer to the previous question?
How do I draw this resonance structure?
I need to indicate how the first resonance structure (the one with #4 above it) turns into the second one with arrows, but I cannot figure it out.
Consider one resonance structure for the azide ion, N3-1 : What is the formal charge on each nitrogen atom in this resonance structure? Enter your answer as a number preceded by the appropriate charge (+ or -), if applicable. If the formal charge is zero, enter 0 . formal charge of left N [a] formal charge of middle N [b] formal charge of right N [c]

Choose the stayement that best expains the meaning of those 3 resonance structures. a) Carbonate consists of two single CO bonds and one double CO bond. b) Carbonate consists of one single structure which is an average of the three resonance structures. c) Carbonate quickly flips back and forth between three structures. d) Three different structures for carbonate coexist. #3: When compaing a carbon-carbon double bond (C==C) and a carbon-carbon single bond (C-C), the double bond is a) longer and shorter b) longer and weaker c) shorter and stronger d) shorter and weaker
