Question
Chapter 1.7, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The resonance structures for the given Lewis formulas are to be written by curved arrows and the stabilities of two Lewis formulas are to be compared and the more stable structure, if any, is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Maximizing the number of bonds and obey the octet rule are the main factors that contribute to the stability of a resonance structure.
When two or more Lewis structure satisfy the octet rule, the structure which have the smallest charge separation is the major contributor.
Among all Lewis structural formulas that satisfy the octet rule, and in which one or more atoms bears the formal charge. The major contributor structure is one in which have the negative charge on the most electronegative atom.

Consider the Lewis structure shown for thionitromethane.
Draw the major resonance structure for the compound shown; include lone pairs of electrons, formal charges, and condensed hydrogen atoms (located in the More menu). Then draw curved arrows to show how this can be converted to the Lewis structure given.
Is an ion considered to be polar, even if it does not contain any polar bonds? think about what the electronegative value applies to? Can electronegativity values be applied to atoms in which electrons have been added or removed from their normal Valencia’s?
Which of the following species is a valid resonance structure of A? Use curved arrows to show how A is converted to any valid resonance structure. When a compound is not a valid resonance structure of A, explain why not.
