(N/A) Benzene is a hybrid of resonating structures. All six carbon atoms in benzene are $sp^2$ hybridized.
The two $sp^2$ hybrid orbitals of each carbon atom overlap with the $sp^2$ hybrid orbitals of adjacent carbon atoms to form six sigma bonds in the hexagonal plane.
The remaining $sp^2$ hybrid orbital on each carbon atom overlaps with the $s$-orbital of hydrogen to form six sigma $C-H$ bonds.
The remaining unhybridized $p$-orbital of carbon atoms has the possibility of forming three $\pi$ bonds by the lateral overlap of $C_1-C_2, C_3-C_4, C_5-C_6$ or $C_2-C_3, C_4-C_5, C_6-C_1$.
The six $\pi$ electrons are delocalized and can move freely about the six carbon nuclei.
Even with the presence of three double bonds,these delocalized $\pi$-electrons provide extra stability to benzene due to resonance energy.

Write the resonance structures for $SO_{3}$,$NO_{2}$ and $NO_{3}^{-}$.

Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the $O_3$ are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a $O=O$ (double bond) but less than that of a single $(O-O)$ bond.
Statement $II$ : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond $(O=O)$ but more than that of a single bond $(O-O)$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
