Interpretation:
A classmate states that a binary compound having only sigma bonds display resonance. Whether this statement is true or not is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The condition that happens when more than one accurate Lewis structures are written for an ion or molecule is termed as resonance. Resonance structures are two or more correct Lewis structures which perform a single molecule or ion.

Answer to Problem 53SSC
The given statement is not true.
Explanation of Solution
The classmate statement could not be true because resonance is exhibited in the compound with both multiple and single bonds. A binary compound consists of only two elements. These compound having only sigma bonds indicates it only consists of single bonds that cannot exhibit resonance.
Thus, the given statement is not true as double or triple bonds should be present in the molecule along with single bonds to show resonance. Also, there should be alternate single or double bonds.
