Which of the following structures is/are not a resonance form of the following species? 
E)None of these choices are correct resonance forms.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

None of the given choices are correct resonance forms. The structure is a radical species with an unpaired electron, as indicated by the dot in the Lewis structure. Resonance structures typically involve delocalization of electrons, but this is not possible for a radical. Therefore, none of the choices given can be correct resonance structures.
