Different contributing structures of azide ion and formate anion are given. The major and minor contributing structures among the given compounds needs to be given. Consider the octet rule and charge separation for deciding the major and minor contributing structures.
Resonance: The representation of some molecules can be done through several Lewis structures. These different structures of the same molecule are known as contributing structures. A hybrid of the contributing structures represents the real structure of the molecule and is known as resonance hybrid.
Such molecules having different Lewis structures exhibit resonance. Resonance occurs through the delocalization of lone pairs over various atoms within the molecule. Consider the example of nitrite ion:
Stability of the contributing structures:
• The contributing structures having a complete octet or maximum number of covalent bonds are the most stable and contributes maximum towards the resonance hybrid.
• A neutral contributing structure is given preference over structures having formal charge.
• The structures with lesser formal charges and lesser charge separation are more stable.
• The contributing structures having negative charge on more electronegative atom is more stable.
• The contributing structures that have opposite formal charges on adjacent atoms are more stable.
The structure D of formate anion is incorrect among the given structures. Hence, the structure D is eliminated.
The major contributing structures are A and B and the minor contributing structure is C.
Ans:The major and minor resonance contributors for the formate anion are as follows:

Which of the following choices represent the resonance contributors of HCI. Note that "aq" was not included next to the molecule, and so, in this instance, we are considering molecules in the gas phase. Hint: consider electronegativity differences H: CI: I is the major resonance contributor; Il is a minor resonance contributor; Il is an insignificant resonance contributor. l is the major resonance contributor; lll is a minor resonance contributor, ll is an insignificant resonance contributor. IlIl is the major...

DRAW THE RESONANCE STRUCTURES FOR THE FOLLOWING AND HIGHLIGHT THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR. Below is my work for the first two. I'm unsure of the major contributor for all. -For the first one, I'm unsure if my final resonance structure is correct due to the double bonds in the benzene ring not being in the same position? -The second one, would there be a negative charge on the Oxygen starting with the first oxygen and then a positive charge where the...
