  1. Problem # 315

     

    Draw all possible resonance forms for each structure below. Use curved arrows.

    Note that some structures only show charge, and not implied protons or lone pairs!

     

  2. Problem # 311

    For each molecule below, draw in all implied lone pairs and/or protons (hydrogens) based on the formal charge shown.

     

  3. Problem # 312

    Draw all possible resonance forms for each structure below. Use curved arrows.

    Note that some structures only show charge, and not implied protons or lone pairs!

     

  4. Problem # 314

    Draw all possible resonance forms for each structure below. Use curved arrows.

    Note that some structures only show charge, and not implied protons or lone pairs!

  5. Problem # 309

    Convert each formula to a carbon skeleton diagram, or vice-versa.

     

  6. Problem # 310

    For each molecule, determine the formal charge of the indicated atom.

     

  7. Problem # 1286

    For the molecule shown below, indicate the hybridization (sp3, sp2, sp, etc.) of atoms A through H, and the bond angles of X, Y, and Z.

  8. Problem # 755
     

    The nitrosyl cation is shown below. Also shown are several proposed resonance arrows, only one of which is correct.

    Draw the resonance forms that would follow from each set of arrows, and include formal charges. Which one is the correct resonance form? Explain your reasoning.

  9. Problem # 286

    Draw the conjugate base forms of each acid listed below, then rank the acids in order or decreasing acidity (1 = most acidic).

    Explain your reasoning.

  10. Problem # 303

     Draw the conjugate base form of each acid listed below, then rank the acids in order or decreasing acidity (1 = most acidic).

    Explain your reasoning.

     

  11. Problem # 304

     Draw the conjugate base form of each acid listed below, then rank the acids in order or decreasing acidity (1 = most acidic).

    Explain your reasoning.

     

  12. Problem # 306

    Rank each group of acids in order of decreasing acidity. (1 = most acidic)

    Explain your reasoning. You will have to use more than one rule in your explanation (resonance, electronegativity, atomic radius, etc.).
