Which choice represents a pair of resonance structures? Note that lone pairs have been omitted for clarity.
C=O and Br-Br
N equivalence C-Cl and C equivalence N-Cl
O=C=O and O equivalence C-O
Cl-O-H and Cl-O-
How many resonance structures can be drawn for ozone, O3? Express your answer numerically as an integer
Which of the following resonance structures for OCN- will contribute most to the correct structure of OCN-? O(1 lone pair)=C(2 lone pairs)=N(1 lone pair) O(2 lone pairs)=C=N (2 lone pairs) O(3 lone pairs)–C≡N(with 1 lone pair) O(1 lone pair)≡C-N(3 lone pairs) They all contribute equally to the correct structure of OCN-.
Add curved arrows to both resonance structures of nitromethane to show the delocalization of electron pairs. A curved arrow starts at an electron source (lone pair or bond) and points to an electron sink.
In each of the following ion pairs, determine which ion is
more stable. Use resonance structures to justify your
answers.
C) Etz-CH2 CH-CEN i
3) Consider the following structure: a) (6 pts) Draw two additional resonance structures for the following compound. Show curved arrows to convert between the resonance structures. (You need to redraw the molecule below) b) (4 pts) Circle the major contributor above. Explain your choice 4) (5 pts) For the following compound draw in the lone pairs, indicate if each lone pair is localized or delocalized and identify what type of orbital each lone pair is in
Each molecule below has four additional significant resonance
structures. Draw these additional structures, using arrows to show
electron movement. For each set of resonance structures, indicate
which is more stable than the rest.
I think I just confusing myself trying to draw these structures
and any help is much appreciated!

2. For the carbonate ion, CO32-, draw all of the Lewis resonance structures including lone pairs of electrons. Draw the electron orbital diagram for the valence electrons of the central carbon before and after hybridization. Identify which carbon and oxygen electron orbitals overlap to create each single and double C-O bond in the structure.
