Which of these statements about resonance is true? (a) when you draw resonance structures, it is permissible to alter the way atoms are connected. (b) the nitrate ion has one long n—o bond and two short n—o bonds. (c) "resonance" refers to the idea that molecules are resonating rapidly between different bonding patterns. (d) the cyanide ion has only one dominant resonance structure. (e) all of the above are true?

Explanation:

This is the statement that defines resonance phenomenon.

In chemistry, resonance refers to some way of describing certain bonds, with the construction of resonance structures. This definition is often used to explain delocalised electrons that cannot be explained with covalent bonds.
