    Dipole and Resonance
    I got 2 questions that says:
    http://p1cture.me/images/81659023084671015693.jpg

    1)i need to draw another 2 Resonance structure to the molecule in the red frame.
    In the blue frame you can see my tried and I am not sure if is correct.

    2) I need to decide if this molecule ( I speak about the molecule in the red frame)has a Dipole, so I mark in blue arrow the Electronegativity where is will be more strong,but is hard to decide if it have a Dipole.

    So I need help here.
    Thanks.

    The two structures that you have drawn are indeed the two resonance structures for asprin.
    There is polarity in the carboxylate groups (-COOR and -COOH) but the molecule will be only slightly polar. That's why is is poorly soluble in water.
    Do you need a total of FOUR resonance structures? You can draw charged structures with the C=O groups but I wouldn't consider them true resonance structures.

    Comment on DrBob1's post
    I need to draw only 2 resonance structures 1 I showed you and other I will do.
    About the has a Dipole you says that there is a polarity so I believe there is a Dipole ?
    Thanks for answer.
