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?

Question diagram
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.
