Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The manner resonance phenomenon occurs in acetate ion has to be shown.
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
(b)
Interpretation:
The manner resonance phenomenon occurs in enolate ion has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The manner resonance phenomenon occurs in allyl cation has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The manner resonance phenomenon occurs in amidate ion has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
