Question
2. Draw the lewis structures for both resonance structures of the OCBr+ ion and select the statement that is true
a. The molecule sometimes looks like one resonances structure, and at other times it looks like the other resonance structure
b. In one resonance structure, the carbon is in the center, and in the other one, the oxygen is in the center
c. The bond between carbon and oxygen would best be described as 2.5 bonds (halfway between a double and a triple bond)
d. In one resonance structure the positive charge is on the bromine, and in the other, it is on the carbon.
