Among structural formulas in which the octet rule IS satisfied for all atoms and one or more of these atoms bears a formal charge the most stable reso nance form is the one in which negative charge re sides on the most electronegative atom... 

It s important to recognize that the positive charge is shared by the two end carbons of the C=C—unit the center carbon does not bear a positive charge m either of the reso nance structures that we just wrote Keep that fact m mind as you answer Problem 10 1... 

Acridine is a heterocyclic aromatic compound obtained from coal tar that is used in the syn thesis of dyes The molecular formula of acndine is C13H9N and its ring system is analogous to that of anthracene except that one CH group has been replaced by N The two most stable reso nance structures of acridine are equivalent to each other and both contain a pyndine like struc tural unit Wnte a structural formula for acridine... 

This IS an unusually high rotational energy barrier for a single bond and indicates that the carbon-nitrogen bond has significant double bond character as the reso nance picture suggests... 

Nitrosyl cation is also called nitrosonium ion It can be represented by the two reso nance structures... 

The positive charge is shared by the three carbons indicated in the three most stable reso nance structures... 

Molecular orbitals are useful tools for identifying reactive sites m a molecule For exam pie the positive charge m allyl cation is delocalized over the two terminal carbon atoms and both atoms can act as electron acceptors This is normally shown using two reso nance structures but a more compact way to see this is to look at the shape of the ion s LUMO (the LUMO is a molecule s electron acceptor orbital) Allyl cation s LUMO appears as four surfaces Two surfaces are positioned near each of the terminal carbon atoms and they identify allyl cation s electron acceptor sites...
