Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Resonance contributor that provides the greater contribution to resonance structure to resonance hybrid has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Resonance Contributor: The appropriate structure with the delocalized electrons is called a resonance contributor, a resonance structure, or a contributing resonance structure.
Delocalized electrons: The sharing of electrons between two or more atoms known as delocalization of electrons. In order to have delocalized electrons, the system must be planar and have alternative double bonds and single bonds.
Resonance hybrid: the actual structure with delocalized electrons is called a resonance hybrid.
(b)

Resonance contributor that provides the greater contribution to resonance structure to resonance hybrid has to be identified.

- Draw all reasonable resonance contributors for the moleculearrow_forwardUse curved arrows and draw four additional resonance contributors. Please circle the most significant contributor(s) to the resonance hybird and explain why.arrow_forwardWhat are the three resonance contributors and which one is the most stable form?arrow_forward
- A) Indicate the most acidic proton on each molecule. B) Rank in order from least to most which are most acidic C) Draw the enolate formed from the loss of the most acidic proton on the most acidic molecule, Only.arrow_forwardRank the molecules in decreasing (strongest to weakest) acidity. Include ALL resonance structures with arrows and explain reasoning for rank.arrow_forwardhi please help with: - most likely site of electrophilic aromatic substitution in each - major or minor compounds (explain the reason(s) that you made your choice) - rank the three compounds in increasing order of reactivity (number them as 1,2 and 3 being the most reactive)arrow_forward
