The C=C bond in 2-cyclohexenone produces an unusually strong signal. Explain using resonance structuresBased on the above resona
nce structures, choose the correct explanation for the unusual strong signal.
1 answer:
Answer:
When two single single bonds separated by a double bond (e.g C=C-C=C or C=C-C=O in the case of 2-cyclohexenone), the effect of resonance among those there bonds will be observed.
Explanation:
Since the Oxygen atom has higher electronegativity, it will cause the electrons in the resonance bonds 'flow' toward the Oxygen atom, so that the C=C will 'lose' some electron. The signal read for that bond will be different from other alkene structure.
Attachment is the resonance structure of 2-cyclohexene.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>The formula of a compound shows the composition of the constituent elements
CaCO₃ is composed of 3 types of elements, namely Ca, C and O
The amounts of each of these elements in the compound CaCO₃:
- Ca = 1
- C = 1
- O = 3
So the number of oxygen atoms = 3
