Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.31AP
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The bond order of each carbon-carbon bond in the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The positive charge which resides on each carbon of the allyl cation is to be calculated.

When computing the formal charge on an atom, the number of electrons that belong to that atom is compared with the number of electrons the atom would have in the unbonded and neutral state. If the two numbers are the same, the formal charge on the atom is zero. In a Lewis structure both electrons in an unshared pair belong to the atom, and one of every pair of shared (bonding) electrons belongs to the atom.arrow_forward
