Question 1
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Match each of the following arrows with what it portrays in chemistry.

arrow used to show that two or more species are resonance structures of each other 

arrow showing a reaction going to completion in the forward direction 

arrow showing a reaction at equilibrium 

arrow showing the movement of 2 electrons 

arrow showing the movement of 1 electron 

Your answer is correct.

The correct answer is:

→ arrow used to show that two or more species are resonance structures of each other,

→ arrow showing a reaction going to completion in the forward direction,

→ arrow showing a reaction at equilibrium,

→ arrow showing the movement of 2 electrons,

→ arrow showing the movement of 1 electron

Question 2

Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Which of the following statements is/are true about curly arrows?

Curly arrows always show the movement of electrons in a single overall  Yes, if we try to do this we will most likely be putting
direction, two curly arrows cannot point at each other too many electrons on a single atom.

Curly arrows must start from either a lone pair  Yes, we are showing the movement of electrons, and electrons exist in either a
or a bond lone pair or a bond.

Curly arrows can only start on an atom

Curly arrows can be used to show the movement of a hydrogen atom in a mechanism

Your answer is correct.

The correct answers are: Curly arrows always show the movement of electrons in a single overall direction, two curly arrows cannot point at
each other,
Curly arrows must start from either a lone pair or a bond

Question 3
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Drag and drop all the required components onto the diagram to show how the corresponding arrow shows the movement of electrons in
this reaction mechanism. 

Assume that in the starting material all non-zero formal charges are shown for the species "X" and "Y" and use that data to determine what the
formal charges should be in the product after the arrow pushing. Also, assign where the lone pair(s) should be after this arrow pushing. And
finally, assign what type of bond exists between X and Y after the arrow. If something doesn't have a charge, lone pair, or bond, drag and drop
the corresponding blank box in its place.

Your answer is correct.

Question 5

Partially correct

Mark 0.67 out of 1.00

Drag and drop all the required components onto the diagram to show how the corresponding arrow shows the movement of electrons in
this reaction mechanism. 

Assume that in the starting material all non-zero formal charges are shown for the species "X" and "Y" and use that data to determine what the
formal charges should be in the product after the arrow pushing. Also, assign where the lone pair(s) should be after this arrow pushing. And
finally, assign what type of bond exists between X and Y after the arrow. If something doesn't have a charge, lone pair, or bond, drag and drop
the corresponding blank box in its place.

Your answer is partially correct. Double-check that you have dragged and dropped a blank when there isn't a charge/bond/lone pair. Also,
double-check that you have calculated your formal charge(s) correctly and showed your movement of electrons correctly based on the
arrow.

You have correctly selected 2.
