Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The string of characters suggests a repeating pattern of alternating single and double bonds (₂^{). However, the final two characters (}) indicate something different - two identical bonds that are intermediate between a single and a double bond (denoted by the "S1S1"). Therefore, the best answer is D, which corresponds to "two identical bonds intermediate between a single and a double bond."
