Question

C-1 : never break a single bond while drawing a resonance structure.

C-2 : never exceed the octet of a second-period atom (C, N, O).

For the curved-arrow move described below, which statement is correct ?

structure

In CH₃CH=CH-OH the C=C pi electrons are pushed to make a C=O bond with the oxygen, which keeps its two lone pairs and the O-H bond.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Oxygen would have a double bond, an O-H bond and two lone pairs, which is 10 electrons. C-2 is violated.
