Question
### Question 19

**Which can be represented by two or more resonance structures?**

- O HOCO₂
- O CN⁻
- O H₃COCH₃
- O O₂²⁻

Resonance structures are alternate ways of drawing a molecule that show the delocalization of electrons within the molecule. These structures represent different ways of arranging the same number of valence electrons among the atoms in a molecule or ion. Resonance structures are typically indicated by double-headed arrows between them.
