Goc Theory Part 7 Ques4

Question: Which of the following molecules exhibits resonance?

Options:

A) $ CH_3-CH_2-CH_3 $

B) $ CH_3-CH=CH_2 $

C) $ CH_3-CH_2-Cl $

D) $ CH_3-C≔N $

Show Answer

Answer: b

Explanation:

A) $ CH_3-CH_2-CH_3 $ does not have any double bonds or lone pairs to exhibit resonance.

B) $ CH_3-CH=CH_2 $ exhibits resonance due to the presence of a $ \pi $ bond.

C) $ CH_3-CH_2-Cl $ does not exhibit resonance as it lacks multiple bonds or lone pairs for delocalization.

D) $ CH_3-C≔N $ has a triple bond but does not exhibit resonance in this form.
