Question
Chapter 1.7, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The resonance structures for the given Lewis formulas are to be written by curved arrows and the stabilities of two Lewis formulas are to be compared and the more stable structure, if any, is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Maximizing the number of bonds and obey the octet rule are the main factors that contribute to the stability of a resonance structure.
When two or more Lewis structure satisfy the octet rule, the structure which have the smallest charge separation is the major contributor.
Among all Lewis structural formulas that satisfy the octet rule, and in which one or more atoms bears the formal charge. The major contributor structure is one in which have the negative charge on the most electronegative atom.

- Writing Lewis Structures Many Lewis structures can be drawn by inspection but a system helps to draw the more complex ones. One approach is too : 1. Draw a skeleton of the major (non-hydrogen) atoms with single bonds ( lines) between each one. Several general considerations will help produce a valid skeletal diagram. normal covalency number or number of bonds that each atom forms.
