Resonance PROBLEMS

Resonance Contributors

 

 

In the problems below, draw the missing resonance contributor, use curved arrow pushing to show how the various contributors are related, indicate the major and minor contributors, and draw "actual" structures indicting the fractional charges on the relevant atoms. The worked examples are in the form of Flash files, you will need to install the latest Flash Player to view them properly.
