In the following pair, determine whether the two represent resonance contributors of a single species or depict different substances. If two structures are not resonance contributors, explain why. Select the single best answer. : and .N-N- The two structures are resonance contributors of the same species. The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain different numbers of electrons o The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain different bond orders. The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain bond orders having integer values The two structures are not resonance contributors because each structure is present in its most stable (lowest energy) configuration

Explanation / Answer

The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain different number of electrons.

As in first structure the lone pairs on first nitrogen atom are three and in second structure the first nitrogen have two lone pairs.
