Which one of the following is expected to exhibit resonance? A)NH₄⁺ B)HCN C)CS₂ D)NO₃^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NO₃^- is expected to exhibit resonance because it has a lone pair on nitrogen and an odd number of electrons, which allows for the possibility of delocalization of electrons through resonance. HCN and CS₂ do not have the necessary features for resonance. NH₄⁺ has an even number of electrons and does not have a suitable resonance structure.
