Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given resonance structures are to be labeled as major, minor, or equal contributors to the hybrid and the hybrid is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Two resonance structures are different and the hybrid looks like the better resonance. Better resonance structure is the one which has major contribution in the hybrid and others are minor contributors. Major contributor is the resonance structure which possesses more bonds and fewer charges.

- Which of the given resonance structures (A, B, or C) contributes most to the resonance hybrid? Which contributes least?arrow_forwardDraw the additional resonance structure(s) of the structure below?arrow_forwardThis is an organic chem question. draw 2 additional resonance structures for each part a and barrow_forward
- Which of the given resonance structures (A, B, or C) contributes most tothe resonance hybrid? Which contributes least??arrow_forwarda) Draw all reasonable resonance structures for the following molecules. b) Label the major and minor resonance structures. If they are all equal write equal.arrow_forwarda. Which of the following has a greater electronegativity? (circle one) Carbon / Cesium b. Explain why you chose your answer in Za.arrow_forward
- Draw a second resonance structure and the hybrid for each species, and then rank the two resonance structures and the hybrid in order of increasing stability.arrow_forwardHelp! a.) Draw all the important resonance contributors for the structure shown below. Use curved arrows to show the movement of electrons between these contributors. b.) Draw the hybrid resonance hybrid structure.arrow_forwardIs bond formation endothermic or exothermic? Write a + or sign above the arrow in the previousquestion to represent the sign of the energy change associated with the arrow.arrow_forward
- 7.42 Draw resonance structure for (a) (b) and (c)arrow_forwardFor each proposed set of resonance structures: a. (E) Add curved arrows (starting from left) to show how each successive r.s. was generated. b. Cross out any resonance structures that are NOT important, and explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardI am having trouble on part c. It wants me to draw the resonance structure, but in mastering chem there’s no arrows available for some reason . Is there a way to draw it without the arrows and still be resonancearrow_forward
