Draw the resonating structure of nitrate ion

Write the resonance structures for NO₂.

Resonance structures can be written for ______.

Which of the following statements are not correct?

(i) \[\ce{NaCl}\] being an ionic compound is a good conductor of electricity in the solid state.

(ii) In canonical structures there is a difference in the arrangement of atoms.

(iii) Hybrid orbitals form stronger bonds than pure orbitals.

(iv) \[\ce{VSEPR}\] Theory can explain the square planar geometry of \[\ce{XeF4}\].

H₃PO₃ can be represented by structures 1 and 2 shown below. Can these two structures be taken as the canonical forms of the resonance hybrid representing H₃PO₃? If not, give reasons for the same.

(1)	(2)
