5. For each structure below, draw the best two additional resonance structures. Include lone pairs and formal charges where applicable. 3 points for each best additional resonance structure.
a)
(e) Rank the resonance structures A-C below in terms of best to worst contributing. 1=best, 3=worst. Then, provide a very brief explanation (no more than two sentences) to justify the best one. (2 points for ranking, 3 points for valid explanation)
A
B
C
Explanation:
6. For each molecular formula below, draw a valid Lewis structure (bond-line structure also fine). Each atom should be neutral and obey the octet rule. Include lone electron pairs where applicable. It will be helpful to determine the degrees of unsaturation first. 3 points for each valid structure.
a) CBrN
b) C2H6
