The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a gas that is highly hazardous to animal health but does not adversely affect plants. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Carbon Monoxide**: Known to be harmful to animals as it binds with hemoglobin in the blood, preventing oxygen transport. It does not show adverse effects on plants. - **Carbon Dioxide**: Not harmful to either plants or animals; essential for photosynthesis in plants. - **Sulphur Dioxide**: Harmful to both plants and animals; contributes to acid rain. - **Nitrogen Dioxide**: Also harmful to both plants and animals; contributes to air pollution and acid rain. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, Carbon Monoxide is the only gas that is hazardous to animal health but does not adversely affect plants. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is **Carbon Monoxide**. ---

The resonance effect is defined as 'the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi -bonds or between a pi -bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacentatom.' The effect is transmitted through the chain. In positive resonance effect, the transfer of electrons is away from an atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system. This electron displacement makes certain positions in the molecule of high electron densities. In negative resonance effect, the transfer of electrons is towards the atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system. Which of the following does not show resonance effect ?
