Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 45P
Consider another chemical species like the ones in the previous problems in which a carbon atom forms three single bonds to three hydrogen atoms but in which the carbon atom possesses a single unpaired electron. (a) What formal charge would the carbon atom have? (b) What total charge would the species have? (c) Given that the shape of this species is trigonal planar, what would you expect the hybridization state of the carbon atom to be?

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.
Assign hybridization state of each carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, halogen, and boron atom indicated with arrows in the molecules below.
I want to know the bond-line formula for the structure proposed from the data?
