Question

What does a double-headed arrow between resonance structures indicate?
Options
A Equilibrium
B Resonance (delocalization)
Correct Answer
C Reaction direction
D Reversible reaction
Correct Answer

A double-headed arrow (↔) between resonance structures indicates that the actual molecule is a resonance hybrid of those structures; not an equilibrium.

Hint

Not an equilibrium, a representation of delocalization.
