Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow pattern should be drawn for the showing the movement of electrons as one resonance contributor is converted to the next.
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
(b)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow pattern should be drawn for the showing the movement of electrons as one resonance contributor is converted to the next.

- Use curved arrows to show the most likely acid-base reaction between phenol and NaOH. a. Use pKa data to mark each curved arrow with a positive or negative energy change in pKa ,units. b. Calculate H for this reaction, and sketch an energy diagram showing H as an arrow onyour diagram.arrow_forwardPairs of unshared electrons can be pushed. One Lewis structure for the methoxy-methyl cation is . The structure contains a pair of pushable electrons, namely, the unshared electrons on the atom. The structure also contains a positively charged atom that can act as a . A second resonance structure can be generated by pushing the unshared electrons to the receptor. Thus, It is not possible to push electrons toward the other carbon, because it is not a receptor. If you tried to push electrons to this carbon, you would generate a pentavalent carbon, which is not possible.arrow_forwardDraw the resonance interaction.arrow_forward
- Add curved arrows to show how the first resonance structure can be converted to the second.arrow_forwardFor each example, specify whether the two structures are resonance contributors to the same resonance hybrid.arrow_forwardDraw the resonance structures for the following compound and circle the one that contributes most to the resonance hybrid. Why?arrow_forward
- Question 10. Draw the resonance structures of the following neutral molecule and define which form is the major contributor. MeOarrow_forwardEncircle the most basic Nitrogen atomarrow_forwardAdd arrows to indicate the movement of electrons in going from the central resonance structure to the other significant contributor.arrow_forward
