Chapter 8: Q6P (page 318)

Draw resonance contributors for each of the following species and rank them in order of decreasing contribution to the hybrid. Then draw the resonance hybrid.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) A is more stable than B because in B there is positive charge on oxygen atom and there are separated charges.

b) A is more stable than B because there are separated charges.

c) A is more stable than B because in A there is pnegative charge on oxygen atom.

d) A is more stable than B because there are separated charges.

e) A is more stable than B because positive charge on A is on less electronegative atom.

f) Here A and B are equally stable.

Step by step solution

01

Reason behind this

a) A is more stable than B because in B there is positive charge on oxygen atom and there are separated charges.

b) A is more stable than B because there are separated charges.

c) A is more stable than B because in A there is pnegative charge on oxygen atom.

d) A is more stable than B because there are separated charges.

e) A is more stable than B because positive charge on A is on less electronegative atom.

f) Here A and B are equally stable.

02

Final answer

A is more stable than B because in B there is positive charge on oxygen atom and there are separated charges.

A is more stable than B because in A there is pnegative charge on oxygen atom.
