Resonance Theory

Additional Exercises

Exercise 1 Select the compounds that meet the structural requirements for π-π resonance interaction.

Exercise 2 Select the compounds that meet the structural requirements for π-n resonance interaction.

Exercise 3 Each of the ions shown below is stabilized by resonance. The number beneath each structure is the number of additional resonance structures that you can draw for that ion. Draw the appropriate structures for each species.
