Chapter 13, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonating structures and resonance hybrid for the carbocation that could result from the ionization of bromine from 5bromo1,3pentadiene are to be drawn. Based on the model, the most important contributing resonance structure for this cation is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Resonance means delocalization of electrons within a molecule. It is also known as mesomerism.

A molecule in which delocalization of electron takes place is shown by various contributing structures and these contributing structures are called resonating structures.

Students have asked these similar questions
write both the thermodynamic & kinetic products for the reaction of: 1,3-pentadiene with HBr
Read these directions carefully. For the reaction of 3-methyl-1-propene with Cl2 and H2O shown below, fill in the details of the mechanism. Draw the appropriate chemical structures and use an arrow to show how pairs of electrons are moved to make and break bonds during the reaction. Be sure to write all lone pairs of electrons and all formal charges. Finally, in the boxes provided by the arrows, write which kind of mechanistic element is being indicated, such as "make a bond", "add a proton", etc.
Propose a structure for an aromatic hydrocarbon, C3H10, that can form three C3H,Br products on substitution of a hydrogen on the aromatic ring with bromine. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. In cases where there is more than one answer, just give one. • Ignore the ortho, para-directing effects of the alkyl groups in answering this question. Consider only the number of nonequivalent hydrogens on the aromatic ring. .... ChemDoodle
