It is shown that the biradical structure is in the primary position in descrbing the molecular structure of ozone. Thus three instead of two resonance structures are needed to describe the ground state of ozone. The case of sulphur dioxide is similar to that of ozone. It is found that, however, for the nitrite anion four resonance structures are needed.展开更多
