Chapter 13, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonating structures and resonance hybrid for the carbocation that could result from the ionization of bromine from 5bromo1,3pentadiene are to be drawn. Based on the model, the most important contributing resonance structure for this cation is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Resonance means delocalization of electrons within a molecule. It is also known as mesomerism.

A molecule in which delocalization of electron takes place is shown by various contributing structures and these contributing structures are called resonating structures.
