Q. The most unlikely representation of resonance structures of $p$-nitrophenoxide ion is

A) [image:11_image62.emf]
B) [image:11_image63.emf]
C) [image:11_image64.emf]
D) [image:11_image65.emf]
Explanation

(c)
[image:11_image248.emf] is not a resonating structure of $p$-nitrophenoxide
Since, N being an element of second period can’t contain more than 10 electrons in its valence shell
