Resonance or Mesomerism
1. All the properties of a compound
cannot be explained by single
structure.
2. Canonical structures or resonance
contributing structures–differ in position
of electrons.
3. Delocalisation of electrons leads to decrease in
potential energy of molecule.

Resonance or Mesomerism
4. Resonance hybrid is more stable than
canonical structures.
5. Resonance structures are imaginary.
6. Resonance energy = Actual energy of hybrid–energy of
most stable contributing structure.
7. Resonance is measure of stability.
Rules for Drawing Resonance Structure
1. The molecule should be planar.
2. It contains an alternating system
of single and double bonds
(a conjugated system).
3. The relative positions of nuclei should remain unchanged
(e.g. tautomerism).
4. The negative charge must preferably lie on the most
electronegative atom.
5. The charge needs to be preserved in all the resonating
structures.
6. The electrons always move away from a negative charge.
7. Arrows should be drawn to indicate the direction of the
movement of electrons.

Inductive Effect
1. Permanent effect in saturated
carbon chain compounds.
2. Group attached to carbon chain should
have tendency to release or withdraw
electrons.
Types of inductive effect
+ I effect effect –electron donating groups
e.g., CH3 , C2H5
– I effect effect –electron withdrawing groups
e.g., - NO2 , –CN

The compound has 3  bonds and
one lone pair, i.e. two non-bonding
electrons. It also contains 9 bonds.
Hence answer is (d).

Hence answer is (a).

(a) I > IV > II > I

Between I and IV, IV is less basic because of the –I
effect of oxygen atom.
II is more basic than III as the lone pair on N-atom in
III is not available for protonation as it is involved in
resonance.
Therefore, the correct order is I > IV > II > III
Hence answer is (a).
Class exercise 6
Account for the order acidity in the
following compounds.
O
(i) CH3CCH2COOH
(ii) HC
CCH2COOH
CH3CH2COOH
H2C = CHCH2COOH
Solution
O


(i) H3C C CH2 COOH > CH3 CH2 COOH
(a)
(b)
In compound (a), electron-withdrawing keto group increases
the acidic strength by decreasing the O — H bond strength,
while no such effect is there in compound (b).
(ii) HC
C CH2 COOH > CH2
CH CH2 COOH
Carbon atoms attached to triple bond is sp hybridised and
more electron-withdrawing than sp2 hybridised carbon atom.
Hence, such order in acidic strength is observed.
Class exercise 7
Which of the following two amines is
more basic and why?
CCl3CH2CH2CH2NH2
or CCl3CH2CH2NH2
Solution
Electron-withdrawing groups decrease
the charge density on N-atom of
organic amines and hence decrease the
basic strength. In Cl3C CH2 CH2 CH2
NH2, the electron withdrawing — CCl3 is
far apart from — NH2 group as
compared to Cl3C CH2 CH2 NH2.
Hence, the former is more basic in
nature.
Class exercise 8
Do you think CH3CH
CH2
OH
can show tautomerism?
Solution:
Yes. The tautomeric form is CH3COCH3.
Class exercise 9
Which one will be more acidic ?
OH
CH3
NO2
OH
CH3
CH3
CH3
C
N
I
II
Solution
Because of steric inhibition of
resonance conjugate base of I will not
be stabilised by resonance. But for II
there is no such steric inhibition of
resonance.
