Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The additional resonance structures for the given anion are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The delocalization of lone pair or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance.
An ion that is formed by losing an electron from a neutral atom is known as cation. An ion that is formed by gaining an electron to a neutral atom is known as anion.

- Explain why hydrogen fluoride (Hf ) has a higher boiling temperature than hydrogen chloride ( HCL ) – 19.4 C vs 85 C – even though has a lower molecular weight.arrow_forwardThe curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6 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 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 HCl.arrow_forwardAll resonance structures with arrow. Major resonance?arrow_forward

Treat a double bond or a triple bond as one bonding interaction (i.e., 1 mole of triple bonds equals 1 mole of bonds). Choose one or more: A. 12 moles O–H bonds B. 6 moles of C–O bonds C. 3 moles of C–O bonds D. 6 moles of O–H bonds E. 3 moles of C–H bonds F. 6 moles of O–O bonds G. 12 moles of C–H bondsarrow_forward
