Chapter 20, Problem 20.25P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The incorrect information in the given resonance structure is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using a single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These resonance structures combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
