Question
Write resonance structures of $H – COO^–$ and comment on their relative stability.
✓
Answer
$i.$ First the detailed bond structure of $H – COO^–$ showing all the valence electron is drawn and then other resonance structures are generated using curved arrow to show movement of $\pi -$electrons.
$ii.$ Two resonance structures are written for $H – COO^–.$
Both the resonance structures $I$ and $II$ are equivalent to each other, and therefore, are equally stable.
$ii.$ Two resonance structures are written for $H – COO^–.$
