Question

Answer all parts...

A.Two resonance structures of the following anion are possible.Once resonance form is given below but incomplete.Complete the structure by adding non bonding electrons and formal charges. Draw the remaining resonance structure by adding non bonding pairs and formal charges

B.Which structure contributes to the hybrid most

a) both are equal contributors

b)the structure with the negative charge on the carbon

c)the structure with the negative charge on the oxygen

**** the structure must be completed and the other resonance form must be drawn ... please explain

A.Two resonance structures of the following anion are possible.Once resonance form is given below but incomplete.Complete the structure by adding non bonding electrons and formal charges. Draw the remaining resonance structure by adding non bonding pairs and formal charges Which structure contributes to the hybrid most both are equal contributors the structure with the negative charge on the carbon the structure with the negative charge on the oxygen

Explanation / Answer

The Structure with Negative Charge on Oxygen, Move a pair of electrons from the double bond on oxygen making a lone pair on oxygen and thus giving it a negative charge
