Draw the resonance structures for the following compounds. Show the electron shift using curved - arrow notation: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)

Answer»

nce structures” are “two forms” of a molecule with the same CHEMICAL CONNECTIVITY but electrons differently distributed around the STRUCTURE. Resonance happens when “electrons” flow through adjacent PI systems.It is a method to describe the “delocalized electrons” in certain MOLECULES where the connection cannot be expressed explicitly by a single Lewis structure. Each Lewis structure is referred to as a contributing molecule or ion structure.
