Assertion (A) . Energy of resonance hybrid is equal to the average of energines of all canonical forms.
Reason (R). Resonance hybrid cannot be presented by a single structure.

A

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

Both A and R are not correct.

D

A is not correct but R is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct A. The energy of the resonance hybrid is equal to the sum of the energies of the various canonical structures in proportion of their contribution towards the resonance hybrid.
