Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The important resonance forms for the given compound are to be stated; the major and minor contributors in the resonating structures are to be indicated and whether they have the same energy is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance is the process in which a molecule gets different structures to define its bonding within the molecule. Such molecules cannot be represented in single Lewis structures. Resonating structures of such molecules are called contributing structures. In the process of resonance shifting of lone pairs occur with the bonds and other lone pairs.
The major contributors are those resonating structures in which almost all the atoms have filled octet.
The minor contributors are those resonating structures in which atoms have not filled octet, and electronegative atom carries a positive charge and vice-versa.

- if something contributes a second resonance structure, is it an electron donating group or an electron withdrawing group?arrow_forwardIn this acid-base reaction, one of the products is NaHCO3. Draw the other product of this reaction. Be sure to include formal charge(s) is applicable.arrow_forwardYou 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?arrow_forward
