Question
Chapter 15.SE, Problem 25AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
One of the resonance structures of anthracene is given. Its other four resonance structures are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structures differ only in the position of lone pair or its π electrons. The position of atoms in different resonance forms do not differ. They do not represent the actual structure of the molecule. The actual structure is a hybrid of all the resonance forms possible.
To draw:
Three resonance structures of anthracene other than that shown are to be drawn.

Draw the resonance structures of [CH3C(OCH3)2]+ and identify its minor and major contributors.
Which resonance structure below is the major contributor?
Nitration of an aromatic ring involves an electrophilic substitution reaction. Draw the structure of the electrophile that is attacked by the aromatic ring and the intermediate formed after attachment of the electrophile to the ring. Be sure to show formal charges.
