Interpretation:
The resonance structure for the allyl anion that shows, along with the given structure, that the two
Concept introduction:
Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These resonance structure combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The negative charge on each of the
Concept introduction:

These structures are known as resonance structures. These resonance structure combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
(c)
Interpretation:
The single hybrid structure for the allyl anion that shows shared bonds as dashed lines and charges as partial charges is to be drawn.

If so, indicate the polarity of each bond and the direction of the net dipole.arrow_forward
- Formamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same? Describe how the experimental determination of the HNH bond angle could be used to indicate which resonance form is more important.arrow_forwardGiven the bonds C N, C H, C Br, and S O, (a) which atom in each is the more electronegative?
