Correct Answer - D
First we write their Lewis structures:
`:underset(..)overset(-..)O-underset( :O: )underset(||)overset( :O: )overset(||)S-underset(..)overset(..-)O:" ":underset(..)overset(-..)O-underset( :O: )underset(||)overset( :O: )overset(||)P-underset(..)overset(..-)O:" " :underset(..)overset(..)O-overset( :O: )overset(||)S-underset(..)overset(..)O:`
In each of these ions, there is more than one reasonable location for a multiple bond. Hence, no single Lewis structure can describe any of these ions. More than one resonance structure must be written for an accurate description.
