Curved Arrow Exercises: Interpretation

Several formulas with curved arrows are shown below. For each one:

  •  describe mobile electron pair (specify type & location)
     
  •  describe destination (specify type & location)
     
  •  draw a new formula incorporating these changes

Example:

Drawing suggestion: Do not work these problems in your head. Draw the starting formula on a piece of paper. Write down the mobile pair and the destination next to your drawing. Then draw the new formula.

Experience shows that making complete drawings improves your ability to think through these problems better and faster than doing the problems in your head.
