Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The second resonance structure for each given radical and its hybrid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These are the hypothetical structures and do not specify the exact structure. These resonance structure combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
The delocalization of electrons results in the formation resonance structure.

- Use curved arrows and draw four additional resonance contributors. Please circle the most significant contributor(s) to the resonance hybird and explain why.arrow_forwardWhich carbon radical would be highest energy? Options: A B C Darrow_forwardAm I drawing the resonance correctly for each? Thank youarrow_forward
- c. To d. To please draw it outarrow_forwardDraw all the resonance structures of A and circle the major contributor.arrow_forwarda.Draw all reasonable resonance structures for pyrrole, and explain why pyrrole is less resonance stabilized than benzene. b.Draw all reasonable resonance structures for furan, and explain why furan is less resonance stabilized than pyrrole.arrow_forward
