Chapter 1, Problem 58P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The pair of structures that are resonance hybrids should be identified.

Concept introduction:When a certain Lewis structure proposed is not able to describe all the experimentally observed parameters of a molecule two or more Lewis structures that differ only in the location of multiple bonds are drawn. These are known as resonance structures. The actual molecule is essentially represented as the hybrid of each of such resonance structures. For instance, a molecule such as ozone O3 the resonance structure and hybrid are illustrated below.
