Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Hybridization of each carbon atom in benzene is to be stated.
Concept introduction: When two or more orbitals of equal energy intermix to form new orbitals of similar energy then it is known as hybridization and the orbitals that are formed as a result of intermixing are called hybrid orbitals.
(b)
Interpretation: Geometry around each carbon atom and the overall geometry of the benzene ring are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Geometry of an atom is determined by the sigma bonds, lone pairs present and the hybridization of that particular atom.
(c)
Interpretation: Second resonance structure of benzene is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: When two or more orbitals of equal energy intermix to form new orbitals of similar energy then it is known as hybridization and the orbitals that are formed as a result of intermixing are called hybrid orbitals. The delocalization of electrons results in the formation resonance structure.

- Draw a picture for each section, molecular model picture and lewis diagram and molecular shape pleasearrow_forwardDraw the additional resonance structure(s) of the structure below?arrow_forwardA. Draw the major resonance structure, then draw curved arrows to show how this can be converted to the Lewis structure given. B. Thionitromethane is redrawn for you. Draw curved arrows to show how this can be converted to the resonance structure you drew in part A.arrow_forward
- Solve correctly please. which one is more basic? draw a resonance structure (One structure is enough)arrow_forwardDraw 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_forwardThe instructions are to draw the resonance hybrid structure of the molecule on the left. My answer is circled , which is wrong. Can someone explain why?arrow_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_forwardShow the other two resonance structures of the following molecule (show the curved arrows). Indicate the major contributor. Draw the resonance hybrid.arrow_forwardSee attached image. For this molecule draw the 2 best resonance structures in the boxes. Circle the best.arrow_forward
- Please 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_forwardCan you explain to me how do resonance hybrid and how to answer the question?arrow_forward
