Chapter 3, Problem 3.45AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two resonance structures of naphthalene are to be dervied using curved arrow notation.

Concept introduction:

Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using a single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure. The curved-arrow notation traces the flow of the electrons in a compound. This notation is used to derive the resonance structure.
