Draw a curved arrow starting from an alkoxide lone pair of resonance structure B, which will form resonance structure C. Draw all atoms of the resulting resonance structure $C$. Show charges and lone pairs. Compared to $\mathrm{B}$, resonance structure $\mathrm{C}$ is a minor (less important) resonance structure. major (more important) resonance structure. Acetic acid can be deprotonated to form acetate ion, ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CO}}_2$. Draw two other resonance structures. Identify the major (most important) and minor (less important) structures. Step 1: Define resonance structures. Step 2: Determine when resonance structures can or cannot form. Step 3: Draw curved arrows to form resonance structures. Step 4: Determine whether the resonance structures are major (more important) or minor (less important). Draw a curved arrow starting from an alkoxide lone pair of resonance structure B, which will form resonance structure $C$. Draw all atoms of the resulting resonance structure $C$. Show charges and lone pairs.
