NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
Consider a diagram showing the resonance structures of the O3 molecule with two canonical forms labeled I and II, and a resonance hybrid labeled III. What does the double-headed arrow between structures I and II represent?
A
It indicates resonance between the two structures.
B
It shows the movement of electrons between the structures.
C
It represents a chemical equilibrium between the structures.
D
It signifies a reversible chemical reaction.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The double-headed arrow between structures I and II represents resonance, which is the concept of delocalization of electrons between different canonical structures. This is specifically highlighted in the NCERT context as resonance in the O3 molecule.
