Three resonance structures of the given anion are possible. One is given, but it is incomplete. Complete the given structure by adding nonbonding electrons and formal charges. Draw the two remaining resonance structures (in any order), including nonbonding electrons and formal charges. Omit curved arrows. Structure B: Draw a resonance structure.
Structure C: Draw a resonance structure. Which structure contributes most to the hybrid? The structure with the negative charge on the oxygen contributes the most. All structures contribute equally. The structures with the negative charge on the carbon contribute the most.
