This document is a problem set for a chemistry course that contains 7 questions about molecular representations, including resonance structures, functional groups, and bond-line drawings. Students are asked to draw resonance structures, identify functional groups, convert drawings to bond-line structures, and draw structural isomers that satisfy given molecular formulas. The questions require applying concepts like hybridization, resonance contribution, formal charge, and identifying valid resonance structures.
