Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.16P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The formal charge on every atom in the methanoate anion shown is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The formal charge on an atom in a molecule or a polyatomic ion is determined from the group number of the atom and its actual valence electrons. The valence electrons are assigned on the basis of electrons shared in a covalent bond and the lone pairs. If an atom bears one or more lone pairs, then both the electrons in each lone pair are assigned to the atom which bears them. In a covalent bond, half of the electrons are assigned to each atom forming the covalent bond.

Problem Draw Lewis structures for the following:(a) Ethylene (C2H4), the most important reactant in the manufacture of polymers(b) Nitrogen (N2), the most abundant atmospheric gasPlan We show the structure resulting from steps 1 to 4: placing the atoms, counting the total valence electrons, making single bonds, and distributing the remaining valence electrons in pairs to attain octets. Then we continue with step 5, if needed.
The next part of the problem is to draw the resonance hybrid. (Exclude formal charges) I’m not sure where to put the dotted resonance lines of the hybrid structure.
Draw the resonance structure for the following molecule:
Just started with resonance, where would the arrows go? I'm unsure of this problem.
