Chapter 18, Problem 18.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The curved arrows which show the conversion of other two resonance structures of benzene to the substitution product (PhE) by removal of a proton with B are 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. Benzene is an aromatic compound. It is a stable compound due to resonance.
