Interpretation:
Transformation of resonance structure should be drawn for the given organic compound
Concept introduction:
Resonance: it is a process of delocalization electrons with in the molecule.
Formal charge: It is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons are equally shared between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity.

- 3. Which of the following molecules are conjugated? For those which are conjugated, write a resonance structure.arrow_forwardDoxorubicin, shown here, is an important chemotherapy drug used to treat avariety of cancers, including bladder cancer, breast cancer, and certain forms of leukemia. Doxorubicin works by binding to DNA in such a way that a portion of it penetrates the DNA double helix— a process called intercalation. During transcription— the process that forms RNA— portions of the DNA strands are temporarily separated for the base sequence to be read and then are reconnected. With bound doxorubicin, however, the double helix does not reform properly after the strands are separated, which disrupts replication— the process that forms an identical copy of DNA. Which portion of doxorubicin do you think intercalates into the DNA double helix, and why do you think it has little difficulty doing so?arrow_forwardThe curved arrow notation is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Since 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 reaction. Choose the correct image that shows the curved arrows to show the movement of electrons.arrow_forward
- draw all resonances are possible for this structure?arrow_forwardThe structure of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is shown below. As the name indicates, the molecule is somewhat acidic. Actually, one of the hydrogens on the four OH groups is much more acidic than the other three ones. Which one is the acidic hydrogen? Hints: To find the answer, you will again have to draw some resonance structures of the product formed after loss of H+. Consider the product after the loss of H+ for each of the OH groups. Only two of the OH groups have resonance structures after deprotonation; one of these two groups has a much better resonance structure than the other one (again after deprotonation). Note that the oxygen atom that is part of the five-membered ring has nothing to do with the problem.arrow_forwardDescribe with words how you would draw the curved arrow(s) to get to the more stable resonance form for the left-hand pair. Be sure to include how many curved arrows are needed and what atom (or bond) the electrons are coming from or going to. Do the same for the resonance pair on the right-hand side. more stable more stablearrow_forward
- Please draw a more stable resonance structure for the following molecule. Use a curved arrow to show how to transform the original structure to the new one and please specify charges.arrow_forwardDraw 3 additional resonance structures that show the delocalization of the cation. Draw 3 additional resonance structures that demonstrate which atoms have partial positive character.arrow_forward9. Draw all resonance structures of the following compounds. Show electron-pushing arrows.arrow_forward
- Determine the total number of resonance structures. Include the initial structure as one structure in the total.arrow_forwardDetermine if you could draw resonance structures for the following biologically related molecules and circle yes if they would or no if they don’t.arrow_forwardIn the following Lewis structure of [(CH3)2OH]*, every atom, bond and lone pair is positioned. To complete the structure, drag the formal charge tags to the appropriate atom(s). Each marker may be used more than once, or not at all. If an atom has a formal charge of zero, do not drag a tag to it. When you drag the marker in, place the little crosshairs in the upper left corner of the marker directly over the atom(s) in question (not above them). H. H-C Н-С-О-С-Н C-H H HH 2- II 2-arrow_forward
