Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Chapter 2, Problem 2.5E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonance structures for the trimethylenemethane anion have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

When a single Lewis structure cannot describe all the experimentally observed properties of a molecule more than one Lewis structure that differs only in the position of multiple bonds is drawn. These are termed resonance structures. The actual molecule is represented by the hybrid of each of these resonance structures. For example for a molecule like ozone O3 the resonance structure and “average” hybrid is illustrated as follows:

does COF₂ have resonance structures?
Each Lewis structure of benzene has three C“C double bonds. Anotherhydrocarbon containing three C“C double bonds is hexatriene, C6H8. A Lewisstructure of hexatriene is   Experiments show that three of the C¬C bonds in hexatriene are shorter than theother two. Does this data suggest that hexatriene exhibits resonance structures?
