Resonance: Practice Problems
Moving a Single Electron Curved Arrow with a Half Arrowhead
In this practice problem, we will move a single electron curved arrow with a half arrowhead. We will start with the following molecule:
We want to move the electron from the carbon atom on the left to the oxygen atom on the right. To do this, we will use a curved arrow with a half arrowhead. The half arrowhead indicates that the electron is moving from a bond to an atom.
The resulting resonance structure is shown below:
We can use this same technique to move electrons in other molecules. This is a powerful tool that can help us to understand the electronic structure of molecules.
