Question

methyl isocyanate, shown as resonance structure 1

 (a) Draw two resonance structures of the cation shown, shifting only one clectron pair in each step. Be sure to include the formal charge on structures B and C. Only move one double bond. Each resonance structure should contain only one charge -a positive charge.

 (b) Use curved-arrow notation on the given structure A to show its conversion to structure B, and then on structure B to show its conversion to structure C.

 1. Draw curved arrows to show conversion of resonance structure A to structure B.

 2. Draw resonance structure B and draw curved arrows to show conversion to structure C.

 3. Draw resonance structure C.



 Methyl isocyanate, shown as resonance structure 1, can form a resonance structure by delocalization of clectron pairs. Draw the other significant resonance contributor for resonance structure 1. Then add curved arrows to each structure to show delocalization of clectron pairs to form the other structure.

 Include lone pairs of clectrons, formal charges, and hydrogen atoms. You can add condensed hydrogens using the More menu, selecting +H and clicking on the carbon as many times as needed.
