4- Determine the major and structure. Demonstrate how you were able to arrive at your answer. hinors resonance structures, and prioritize the relstive stability of each resonance Choose Problem 4 or S5- Determine the formal charge (FC) and hybridization (Hy) of each atom other than bydrogen for the molecule below. Use the example below, and place your answers for the formal charge and hybridization as displayed. Also determine the total number of electrons as well as the t gverall charge associated with the entire molecule Tetal W of Electreas, Overall Charge on Melecule

Explanation / Answer

stability order prioritywise

1 a resonating structure containing more no of pie bond (multiple bond) is more stable

2 a resonating structure having complete octate of all atom is more stable

3 neutral structure is more stable than charge separated

4 if charge separation negative charge on more electronegative element and positive charge on less electronegative element

A>C>B

A contain maximum double bond and octate of all is complete so major resonance structure

most stable

B and C contain same no of double bond or pie

but negative charge is on more electronegative oxygen in C but negative charge is on less electronegative carbon

so C is more stable than B

B is minor resonance structure
