Question
Chapter 1, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The resonance Lewis structure (if possible) for compounds in problem 25 and 28 needs to be represented using the electron-pushing arrows. The major contributor of the resonance hybrid needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The compound undergoes resonance, if there is possibility of delocalization of pi electrons. It is possible if there is an alternative double bond with charge or lone pair of the electrons on an atom. In the resonance, movement of electrons takes place from negative to positive charge and this movement is represented by curved arrows.

- The structure of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is shown below. As the name indicates, the molecule is somewhat acidic. Actually, one of the hydrogens on the four OH groups is much more acidic than the other three ones. Which one is the acidic hydrogen? Hints: To find the answer, you will again have to draw some resonance structures of the product formed after loss of H+. Consider the product after the loss of H+ for each of the OH groups. Only two of the OH groups have resonance structures after deprotonation; one of these two groups has a much better resonance structure than the other one (again after deprotonation).
