Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
- The resonance contributors for the given compound has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Resonance Contributor: The appropriate structure with the localized 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)

- Can you please answer what the missing compound A and B are?arrow_forwardSo, in this lewis acid-base reaction, do we need to draw lone pairs or not? Why or why not? Thank you.arrow_forwardUse (2) curved arrows simultaneously to demonstrate resonance. Select the best possible contributor.arrow_forward
- draw resonance and please explain every steparrow_forwardComplete the mechanism for the resonance stabilization. Draw the curved arrows, and complete the structure of the second resonance form.arrow_forwardConsider the following bases: a. For each base above, circle the atom/atoms with the highest PE (will release the most P.E.when a lone pair on this atom combines with an H+ ) b. Rank the bases 1 (highest P.E./strongest base) to 7 (lowest PE/weakest base), and explainyour reasoning.arrow_forward
- Summarize the relationship between pKa and acid strength by completing the following sentences: a. The higher the pKa of an acid, the stronger or weaker the acid. b. The lower the pKa of an acid, the stronger or weaker the acid.arrow_forwardKindly answer this question a, b ,carrow_forwardPlease explain which resonance contributor would be the best and why.arrow_forward
