QUESTION:
In the compound below, identify all carbon atoms that are electron deficient (d+) and all carbon atoms that are electron rich (d-). Justify your answer with resonance structures. H OH H O
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
First, break the double bond between the atoms of differing electronegativity. This makes a structure with a positive charge adjacent to a set of conjugated double bonds, so by moving each double bond over, a series of resonance structures can be made.
