Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The electron-dot structure of the given structure is to be drawn and described.
Concept introduction:
The electron dot structures can be described as the structure in which electrons are represented around the atoms in the molecule.
In the resonance structure, the electrons are moved towards the more electro negativity atoms and more positive charges. The arrow is originated from pi electrons or unshared electrons and move towards the more electronegative atoms and positive charges.
(b)
Interpretation:
The electron-dot structure of the given structure is to be drawn and described.
Concept introduction:
The electron dot structures can be described as the structure in which electrons are represented around the atoms in the molecule.
In the resonance structure, the electrons are moved towards the more electro negativity atoms and more positive charges. The arrow will be originated from pi electrons or unshared pair of electrons and move towards the more electronegative atoms and positive charges.
(c)

- The Lewis structure of methyl phosphate is shown. Modify the skeletons to show a minor resonance structure. Add charges and non‑bonding electrons where needed.arrow_forwardDrawing Lewis Structures For each molecule, calculate the total number of valence electrons. Then, using formal charge considerations as needed, draw the best Lewis structure for each moleculearrow_forwardDraw three resonance structures for N3-. This species has its three atoms bonded sequentially in the following fashion: N-N-N. Draw your resonance structures so that the atoms in them are bonded together in this order. Select the most important resonance structure for this species based on the formal charges on the atoms of the three resonance structures you have drawn. Now select the statement from the multiple choices which is true about this most important resonance structure.In the most important resonance structure of N3- : a) The leftmost bond (between N and N) is a single bond. b) The rightmost bond (between N and N) is a single bond. c) The formal charge on the leftmost (N) atom is -1. d) The number of nonbonding pairs (lone pairs) of electrons on the leftmost (N) atom is 4. e) The number of nonbonding (lone) pairs of electrons on the rightmost (N) atom is 4.arrow_forward

Isn't the first rule for major resonance structures that the structure have as many full octets as possible?arrow_forward
- Consider the resonance structures of formate. Select the true statements about the resonance structures. Each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond. The actual structure of formate is an average of the two resonance forms. Each oxygen atom has a double bond 50% of the time. The actual structure of formate switches back and forth between the two resonance forms.arrow_forwardChoose the INCORRECT statement. In a Lewis structure, the number of valence electrons shown is one more for each negative charge. The central atom is typically the atom with the highest electronegativity. Formal charges are apparent charges associated with atoms in a Lewis structure. Resonance is when more than one plausible structure can be written but the "correct" structure cannot be written.arrow_forwardThe structures shown in the second picture are both incorrect. I cannot figure out the correct structure.arrow_forward
- Draw the resonance structure for the following molecule: Just started with resonance, where would the arrows go? I'm unsure of this problem.arrow_forwardDraw the best Lewis structure(s) for the following molecular formulas:arrow_forwardClick the "draw structure" button to launch the drawing utility. Draw a Lewis structure for one important resonance form of HBRO, (HOBRO3). Include all lone pair electrons in your structure. Do not include formal charges in your structure. draw structurearrow_forward
