Question
Chapter 7.7, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given compounds, the stable one has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Delocalized electrons: Electrons that are not localized in one particular atom or bond and shared by three or more atoms are called delocalized electrons.
Resonance contributor: In some chemical compounds like benzene pi electrons are delocalized in it and difficult to locate it. Resonance contributor gives an idea of whereabouts of pi electrons. The exact structure with localized electrons are called resonance contributor.
