Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A resonance structure for ethyl acetate including the formal charge is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonating structures are structures that have more than one equivalent Lewis structure for the same molecule or ion.
According to the convention, these structures are connected by double-headed arrows (
Movement of electrons (whether bonding or lone pair) is indicated by curved arrows.
The rules for writing the resonance structures are:
Resonance structures have existence in paper only, they are not real structures.
While writing the resonance structures, movement of either double bonded electrons or lone pair of electrons are shown.
All structures should be correct Lewis structures.
The energy of any contributing structure is higher than the energy of the resonance hybrid.
For equivalent resonating structures, the resonance stabilization is large.

(i) On the structure below, add all missing lone pairs of electrons, assuming that all of the formal charges are correct. (ii) Draw line-angle structures for all resonance forms (including minor, but still significant) using appropriate notation, including double-headed resonance arrows and curved arrows for electrons. (Hint: Draw two more) (iii) Rank the three structures from most =1 to least =3 important.arrow_forwardA 1.88/The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Because each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCI.
