Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula for an acylium ion intermediate is to be written. The structural features of acylium ion that make it a viable intermediate are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Acylium ion or acyl cation is obtained when the removal of a halide ion takes place from a molecule of p-methoxybenzoyl chloride in the presence of Lewis acid as a catalyst.

The general structural formula of the acylium ion is RC+=O····.

Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures.
