Which of the following conditions is not correct for resonating structures?
The contributing structures must have the same number of unpaired electrons
The contributing structures should have almost similar energies
The contributing structures should be so written that unlike charges reside on atoms that are far apart
The positive charge should be present on the electropositive element and the negative charge on the electronegative element
Resonance hybrid of nitrate ion is
The correct order of $'S-O'$ bond length is
The bond order in $CO_3^{2 - }$ ion between $C - O$ is
${{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{P}}{{\rm{O}}_3}$ can be represented by structure $1$ and $2$ shown below. Can these two structures be taken as the canonical forms of the resonance hybrid representing ${{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{P}}{{\rm{O}}_3}$ ? If not, give reasons for the same.
Resonance is due to
