Practice Problem 5.3
a) Here, both of the bonding electrons go to nitrogen. The bond was formally one electron from
N and one from C. Since both are now on N, the nitrogen has gained an electron and the
carbon has lost an electron, leading to the final charge location on C.

b) The hydroxide ion contributes both electrons in forming the new C–O bond and so has
formally lost a valence electron. The carbon still has four valence electrons and so remains
neutral. The carbonyl oxygen gained a valence electron, as it is no longer sharing the bond
electron with carbon, and is negatively charged.

c) The new bond introduces charges on the boron and oxygen atoms, as indicated.

d) A new C–H bond forms from the CH3⊝ lone pair electrons and the broken C–H bond
electrons end up on the alkyne carbon.

e) The Cl⊝ removes an H to make HCl. The C–H bond electrons make a new π bond.

f) A new C–H bond forms by formal addition of H⊝ to the C=O carbon.

a) The product is incorrect. A benzene ring and HBr would form, as in part (e) of Practice
Problem 5.3.

b) The mechanism was missing the arrow for movement of the C=N double bond electrons to
the N atom.

c) The lone pair electrons on O make the bond to H. The arrow was pointing in the wrong
direction. As well, adding lone pair electrons on the O is recommended when one is just
getting started working with mechanisms.

a) This molecule has a lone pair beside a carbocation, leading to the resonance forms indicated
below.

b) No resonance is possible because the charge is isolated from the double bond by a saturated
CH2 group.

c) No resonance is possible because the charge is isolated from the double bond by a saturated
CH2 group.

d) No resonance is possible because the lone pair is isolated from the double bond by a
saturated carbon atom.

e) The charge is adjacent to two π systems, resulting in the following possible resonance forms.

f) The electrons adjacent to the charge lead to the following resonance forms.

Integrate the Skill 5.10


a) The oxygen lone pairs can enter into resonance with the ring π–electron system.

The result of this resonance is to give some negative character to the ortho and para
positions in the ring. These will be attracted to positive charges. As well, the lone pairs on
the oxygen atom will be attracted to positive charges.
b) The molecule has possible resonance due to the lone pair being next to a π bond, leading to
the following resonance forms.

The form on the right has a formal negative charge on the oxygen, making it most attractive
to positive charges.

5-10

c) The oxygen lone pair next to a double bond can enter into resonance, as shown.

This results in a formal negative charge on the carbon indicated, which would be attracted to
positive charges. The lone pairs will be attracted to positive charges as well.

Practice Problem 5.11


a) The major difference in these forms is the location of the negative charge. It will be more
stable on the most electronegative atom, which is N in this case.

b) The presence and separation of charges is the major factor distinguishing these forms.

O O O

least favourable: intermediate: most favourable:

c) The least favourable form has the negative charge on the least electronegative atom, C. The
other two structures have similar π systems, and so the charge on O would be equal in quality.

d) Because the bonding in each is the same, the two resonance forms on the right are of equal
importance in describing the bonding in the molecule. All atoms in these two resonance
forms have filled valence orbitals. The resonance structure on the left, with an empty
valence orbital on the carbon atom, will be of less importance than the other two.

e) The first two resonance forms each have a carbon atom with an empty valence orbital; so the
third resonance form, with each atom having all orbitals filled, will be the most important
contributor to the bonding. The carbon atom having the positive charge in the first resonance
form is positioned further from the electronegative O atom. This will be a more important
contributor to the bonding than the middle resonance form in which the carbon atom bearing
the positive charge is adjacent to the O atom.

The ring electrons react with the bromine molecule, producing a positively charged intermediate
and a bromide ion.

The two main determinants of the relative contribution of each resonance form are whether the
atoms have filled or empty valence orbitals and the location of the positive charge in the
intermediate.

a) Resonance forms having atoms with all valence orbitals filled will contribute more to the
resonance hybrid than those in which atoms have an empty orbital.

b) The resonance form with the negative formal charge on the electronegative nitrogen atom is
a greater contributor than the one with the negative charge on carbon.

c) The most important resonance form has no charges. The second most important has all
orbitals filled with the negative charge on O. The third has all orbitals filled with the
negative charge on C. The least important resonance form has an empty orbital on the
C atom.

d) The most important resonance form has no charges. The second most important has all
orbitals filled. Both the third most important and the least important have an empty orbital
on a C atom. The least important has the positive formal charge on the carbon atom adjacent
to the negative formal charge.

e) All structures are identical and therefore equally ranked.

f) There are three resonance forms that are equally the most important contributors. They are
equal because they differ only in the position of the C=N π bond. They are the most
important because all valence orbitals are filled. The remaining resonance form is least
important because it has an empty orbital on the C atom.

a)

The circled structure would be more stable, as it is capable of delocalizing the positive
charge via resonance.

b)

The circled structure is more stable, as it has available resonance forms. The charge on the
other is isolated from the double bond by a saturated CH2 group.

c)

The circled structure would be more stable, since the negative charge is delocalized by
resonance.

a) The arrows were backward and incomplete. The negative charge is moved and displaces a π
bond in each shift. The correct arrows are shown below.

b) The student missed one important resonance form and did not recognize that the resonance
form labelled as the most significant is, in fact, the least significant because its C atom has
an empty valence orbital. All valence orbitals are filled in the other three (equivalent)
resonance forms.

c) The resonance forms drawn by the student would be unimportant. The important resonance
forms would place a negative charge on O and positive charge on C.

p orbitals are perpendicular;


no overlap possible

b) Similar to part (a). The lone pair on the N atom sits in an sp2 hybridized orbital that lies
perpendicular to the p orbitals of the ring, so overlap with them to establish π bonding is not
possible. The lone p orbital on N that can form π bonds with the ring carbon atoms is already
doing so.
