Question

Can these groups participate in resonance? How? -COO(minus),-NH3(plus),-CH2(plus)....,

Vikas TU · Answer

only - COO(minus), PARTICIPATES IN RESONANCEas it has pie bonds and a negative charge! plz approve!

rohit yadav · Answer

yes

Akash Kumar Dutta · Answer

only COOminus can have...since there is double bond

FITJEE · Answer

yes these groups readily participates in resonance. these has -I character that halps in rasonance...........

BAYANA SAGAR · Answer

1)COO- ion possess two pie electrons.so it can participate in resonance.e.g:CH3COO-.

2)NH3+ ion has a lone pair of electrons in nitrogen.so it exhibits isomerism.

3)CH2 is a electron donating group.so it exhibits isomerism.
