Question
Chapter 2, Problem 12EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The resonance structure of the given molecule is to be determined
Concept Introduction:
When the electron distribution of a molecule can be depicted correctly in more than one way using different Lewis structures, the drawings are called resonance structures.
Resonance structures have no discrete existence of their own but, taken in combination, describe the true structure of the molecule.

- Question Provide each unique Lewis structure for the HONO molecule that maintains the H-O-NO connectivity and where all atoms have an octet (hydrogen a duet). Your structures should explicitly show ALL bonds, all lone pairs, and all formal charges. Which Lewis structure contributes more to the real hybrid structure of HONO? What is the relationship between these Lewis structures and what type of arrow is used to show their relationship? This question is confusing to me. Please explain your answer.arrow_forwardSome of the figures below represent invalid sets of resonance structures for this molecule.arrow_forwardA resonance hybrid is a structure that can be depicted by more than one valid Lewis structure. part1: Draw the major resonance form of fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized, and it should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons. part2: Draw the second most important resonance form of fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized, and it should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons. part3: Draw the least important resonance contributor for fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized and should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons.arrow_forward
