To determine why the two given resonance structures for `CH₃C(=O)OCH₃` (methyl acetate) cannot be major contributors to the real structure, we need to analyze the stability of each structure based on the octet rule and the electronegativity of the atoms involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Resonance Structures**: The two resonance structures provided are: - Structure I: `CH₃-C^+(O^(-))=O` - Structure II: `CH₃-C=O-O^(-)` ...
