Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The delocalization of the negative charge in the Ruhemann’s purple anion with the help of their resonance forms is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Resonance structures are defined as a set of more than two Lewis Structures that collectively show the delocalization of the electrons in the molecule.

To determine: The delocalization of the negative charge in the Ruhemann’s purple anion with the help of their resonance forms.

Show the resonance structures of ferulic acid
In order to determine high and low electron density, is it necessary to include minor resonance structures? The textbook answer says 'significant resonance contributors suggest the areas of highest and lowest electron density.' Does this mean minor structures are also significant?
Draw 3 additional resonance structures that show the delocalization of the cation.    Draw 3 additional resonance structures that demonstrate which atoms have partial positive character.
