Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Resonance contributors for the given radical has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical:
Unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Resonance:
Resonance is a way of describing delocalized electrons within certain molecules where the bonding cannot be expressed by one single Lewis structure.
