Solution
The correct options are
B
C
In the above, if you look at the first structure, there is less electrostatic force of repulsion between the two negatively charged oxygen atoms. The charges are separated by a larger distance.
In the first structure shown above, the less electronegative nitrogen atom is holding the positive charge. In the second, the more electronegative oxygen atom has the positive charge.
