Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow notation which shows that the outer oxygen atoms of ozone have an equal amount of negative charge is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Resonance is the phenomena of the delocalization of pi electrons to give extra stability to the molecule. Resonating structures is defined as the structures which have localized electrons. Curved- arrow notation is used to show the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow notation which shows that the CO bonds in carbonate ion are of equal length is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Resonance is the phenomena of the delocalization of pi electrons to give extra stability to the molecule. Resonating structures is defined as the structures which have localized electrons. Curved- arrow notation is used to show the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow notation which shows that the conjugate acid of formaldehyde has substantial positive charge on carbon is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Resonance is the phenomena of the delocalization of pi electrons to give extra stability to the molecule. Resonating structures is defined as the structures which have localized electrons. Curved- arrow notation is used to show the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
