Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance structure and formal charges of the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The expression to calculate the formal charge of the substance is shown below:
The electron dot structures can be described as the structure in which electrons are represented around the atoms in the molecule.
In the resonance structure, the electrons are moved towards the more electronegative atoms and more positive charges. The arrow is originated from pi electrons or unshared electrons, and move towards the more electronegative atoms and positive charges.
(b)
Interpretation:
The resonance structure and formal charges of the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The expression to calculate the formal charge of the substance is shown below:
The electron dot structures can be described as the structure in which electrons are represented around the atoms in the molecule.
In the resonance structure, the electrons are moved towards the more electro negativity atoms and more positive charges. The arrow will be originated from pi electrons or unshared pair of electrons, and move towards the more electronegative atoms and positive charges.

- A complete Lewis structure must show all nonzero formal charges. Complete each of thefollowing Lewis structures by adding any missing formal charges.arrow_forwardThe Lewis structure of acetone is Circling the carbonyl carbon, i.e., the carbon atom attached to oxygen, and its octet gives Circling the oxygen atom and its octet gives Thus, atoms share electrons in making bonds, and a pair of electrons may be included in the octet of two different atoms. When computing the formal charge on an atom, the number of electrons that belong to that atom is compared with the number of electrons the atom would have in the unbonded and neutral state. If the two numbers are the same, the formal charge on the atom is zero. In a Lewis structure both electrons in an unshared pair belong to the atom, and one of every pair of shared (bonding) electrons belongs to the atom.arrow_forwardthe formal charges on all the atoms in the following Lewis diagrams.

- Draw the resonance structure indicated by the curved arrows. Assign formal charges. H H/:O: H H-C-C-C-Ċ—H H H H Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atoms in the correct structure.arrow_forwardDraw a Lewis structure of your choice that has at least three equally reasonable resonance structures. You must show your work as to how the structure was drawn including showing valence electrons, any structures you draw that don’t work and require you to show a multiple bond, and formal charges on each atom that has a formal charge. For example, Nitrate ion has three structures (but you can’t draw this one). All three structures have formal charges and no one structure is preferred based on formal charge. Carbon dioxide would not be a valid choice. While it does have three structures, the structure that has two double bonds is the preferred structure while the structures with triple bonds are not equivalent to the double bonded version as they have multiple formal charges present.arrow_forwardWrite the resonance structure for each of the following compounds.
