(N/A) In $CH_2=CH-Cl:$,the lone pair on $Cl$ participates in resonance: $CH_2=CH-\ddot{Cl}: \leftrightarrow \overset{-}{C}H_2-CH=\overset{+}{Cl}:$
$(b)$ For $CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2$,the resonance structures are:
$CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2 \leftrightarrow \overset{+}{C}H_2-CH=CH-\overset{-}{C}H_2 \leftrightarrow \overset{-}{C}H_2-CH=CH-\overset{+}{C}H_2$
$(c)$ In $CH_2=CH-CHO$,the $\pi$-electrons of the $C=C$ bond shift towards the $C=O$ group:
$CH_2=CH-CH=O \leftrightarrow \overset{+}{C}H_2-CH=CH-O^-$

In a benzene molecule,all $C-C$ bond lengths are equal because:

Given that:
$(i) \Delta_f H^o$ of $N_2O$ is $82 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$(ii)$ Bond energies of $N \equiv N, N = N, O = O$ and $N = O$ are $946, 418, 498$ and $607 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively.
The resonance energy of $N_2O$ is $...... \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the $O_3$ are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a $O=O$ (double bond) but less than that of a single $(O-O)$ bond.
Statement $II$ : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond $(O=O)$ but more than that of a single bond $(O-O)$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
