5 Questions
What is the mesomeric effect in chemistry?
It is the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom.
What happens as a result of the mesomeric effect?
The formation of resonance structures that hybridize into the molecule's true structure.
What does a negative mesomeric effect indicate?
The substituent is an electron-withdrawing group.
Which compounds have a stronger mesomeric effect?
Compounds with a low ionization potential.
What does the mesomeric effect describe?
The electron withdrawing or releasing properties of substituents.
