Which is the incorrect statement regarding resonance contributing structures?A. All atoms in a contributing structures must have complete valence shellsB. All contributing structures must have same arrangement of atomsC. All contributing structures must have same number of valence electrons.D. Equivalent resonance structures have same potential energies |

Answer» Correct Answer - A There may an atom with incompleat valence shell in one or more contributing structure is e.g. `{:(overset(+)(C)H_(2)-CH=underset(I)(CH)-O-CH_(3)harrCH_(2)=CH),(overset(+)underset(II)(CH)-O-CH_(3)harrCH_(2)=CH-underset(III)(CH)=overset(+)(O)-CH):}` Both `I` and `II` have a carbon atom with sexter of electrons while `III` has all its atoms with complete valence shell. |
