Common mistakes when drawing resonance structures

Draw resonance structures for each radical.

For each of the structures below, draw the resonance structure that you get whenyou push the arrows shown. Be sure to include formal charges. (Hint: In some cases the lone pairs are drawn and in other cases they are not drawn. Be sure to take them into account even if they are not drawn- you need to train yourself to see lone pairs when they are not drawn.)(FIGURE CAN'T COPY) | Numerade
