A Lewis structure for the propanoate ion is shown here: The ionis CH3CH2CO with an O atom double-bonded to the third (from left toright) C atom. The single-bonded O atom has three lone pairs. Thedouble-bonded O atom has two lone pairs. The overall charge of theion is 1 minus. Which structure is the best resonance structure forthe propanoate ion?
