Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The additional resonance contributing structure of given carbocation has to be drawn and greater contributing resonance hybrid has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Stability of carbo cation:
The highly substituted carbocation is more stable so the stability of carbocation is give as,
Resonance contributor:
Two forms of a molecule that contains same chemical connectivity with different electron distributions are known as resonance structures. They are used to explain the stability of molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The additional resonance contributing structure of given carbocation has to be drawn and greater contributing resonance hybrid has to be stated.
