Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given Lewis structure is to be redrawn as the corresponding line structure.
Concept introduction:
Line structures are compact, like condensed structures. In the line structures, carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms attached to them are not shown explicitly. A carbon atom is implied at the intersection of two bonds and at the end of each bond. Atoms except carbon and hydrogen are drawn. Non-bonding electrons are usually not shown unless they are important to emphasize an aspect of the atom.
(b)

- Draw a more stable resonance structure for the following molecule. Use a curved arrow to show how to transform the original structure to the new one and please specify charges.arrow_forwardSee image and include any lone pairs and any charges as wellarrow_forwardBelow are two sets of resonance structures. Where applicable provide the missing curved arrow notation, lone pair electrons, and nonzero formal charge. Do not delete or add any bonds or atoms.arrow_forward
- The molecule shown here has quite a large dipole, as indicated in its electrostatic potential map. Explain why.Hint: Consider various resonance structures.arrow_forwardProblem 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.arrow_forwardmatch the following to its compound name. *First row only from upper to bottomarrow_forward
- Which of the molecules are polar in attached problem?arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Write the resonance structure that would result from pushing the electrons as indicated by the curved arrow.Zarrow_forwardPlease answer question in pic. Don’t forgot to add formal charge if it has it in the problemarrow_forward
- In HF , neither H nor F holds a full formal charge of +1 or 1 . Organic chemists represent apartial charge using the Greek letter delta () . On the electron density map of the molecule HF above, add a + to one atom and a to the other to indicate which way the bond is polarized.arrow_forwardDraw all the reasonable resonance structures for the following which delocalizes the negative charge on different atoms. You must use electron pushing arrows notation to show the conversion of a resonance structure into another for full credit.arrow_forwardDraw the curved arrows and the resulting resonance structure for the following structure. Include lone pairs and charges in your structure.arrow_forward
