The species that does not exhibit resonance among the options provided is 1,4-Cyclohexadiene. Participants in the discussion highlighted that resonance structures could be drawn for CH2=CH-CΘH2, CH2=CHCl, and CH3-NO2, while 1,4-Cyclohexadiene lacks the necessary conjugation to allow for resonance. The conversation emphasized the importance of understanding resonance structures and encouraged participants to illustrate their reasoning through drawn structures.

Which one do you think it is and why?Vavi Ask said:Please, can anyone tell me which one and how did you get it?
I believe it's option 3 because that's the only compound I'm not able to draw resonance structures for. But I still have doubt with the others. Can you please help me?TeethWhitener said:Which one do you think it is and why?
They're all wrong, coz I was only able to draw chains and not branches. But still, I believe they have resonance structures. But option 3, I'm not able to do anything.TeethWhitener said:What resonance structures were you able to draw for the others?
I don't understand what this means. What are the structures you drew?Vavi Ask said:They're all wrong, coz I was only able to draw chains and not branches.
Sorry sir, I don't know how to explain further. I'm not able to insert the picture of what I've drawn, otherwise I could've shown you at what conclusion I've arrived at. Please sir, it's urgent and important. I shall compare your answer with what I've understood or got and learn it.TeethWhitener said:I don't understand what this means. What are the structures you drew?
This is not how we do things here. We can help get to the solution, but we will not give you the answer.Vavi Ask said:Sorry sir, I don't know how to explain further.
