Which among the following structures cannot represent resonance form for diamagnetic N2O?
Correct answer: E. Option E
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
- E. Option E
Explanation
From the above resonance diagrams, it is clear that (A) and (B) are the correct representations for N2 O. In(C), oxygen more than 8 electrons, which is not possible. In (D), nitrogen on both sides has 6 valence electrons, instead of 5, which is not possible. In structure (E), oxygen atom is absent. Hence, (C), (D) and (E) are the incorrect representations.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
