Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 8:**
If a resonance structure must have a negative formal charge, that charge is most stable on an electronegative atom.
**Instructions:**
1. Draw all relevant resonance structures of the molecule below with curved arrows only using pattern.
2. Circle the most stable structure(s).
3. Explain the choice of most stable structure with 1–3 complete sentences.
**Diagram:**
The diagram displays a benzene ring attached to an acetyl group, which is a carbon double-bonded to oxygen and single-bonded to a methyl group. The oxygen can carry a negative charge when depicting resonance structures.
---
This instructional material helps you understand how to identify and illustrate resonance structures while considering the stability of negative charges on electronegative atoms, such as oxygen.
