Question

Structures which help to delocalize the positive charge make important contribution towards nit resonance hybrid regardless of the fact whether the positive charge is on less or more electronegative atom.

Solution

$H_{3} C - \oplus C | - O - H \leftrightarrow (C H_{3})_{2} - C = \oplus O - H$
$C H_{3}$
$↓$
The positive charge on carbon is more stable.
$2^{o}$ carbocation is stable than hydronium carbon chain.

Q. In which of the following pairs of resonating structures first resonating structure is more contributing toward resonance hybrid than second?

In the thiocyanate ion,

S C N^{-}

, three resonance structures are consistent with the electron-dot method. Structure A has only one negative formal charge on the nitrogen atom, the most electron negative atom in the ion. Structure B has a single negative charge on the

S

, which is less electronegative than

N

. Structure C has charges of

- 2

N

+ 1

on S, consistent with the relative electronegativities of the atom s but with a larger charger and greater charge separation than the first.
