[SOLVED] Resonance Structures
1. Homework Statement [/b]
Draw the major resonance contributors that show electron delocaliztion of the formal charge for the following ions,
The conjugate base of
.O
.||... NH2
/..\ /...\\ /
...||...|
... \...//\
....OH
3. The Attempt at a Solution [/b]
Possible conjugate bases
.O
.||...NH2
/..\ /...\\ /
...||...|
...\...//\
....O(-) However this has no resonance structures...
.O
.||...NH(-)
/..\ /...\\ /
...||...|
...\...//\
....OH However this has no resonance structures...
and finally...
...O
...||...NH2
...(-)/ \ /...\\ /
...||...|
...\...//\
......OH with the resonance structure...
... O (-)
...|...NH2
...//..\ /..\\ /
...||...|
...\...//\
.....OH
am I on the right track with the last answer?
