5. Resonance provides the basis for a large portion of organic chemistry and helps us identify sites of high and low electron density. We will see that the electron source (nucleophile) is attracted to the site of electron sinks or deficiency (electrophile). For the following, draw the curved arrow that shows the movement of electrons that takes you from one resonance structure to the other. Remember to always start your arrow at the source of electrons (r-bond or lone pair)....
