How are the bonds and electrons changed in the negative resonance structure of nitrobenzene?

Solution

Resonance Structure of Nitrobenzene

  1. The presence of an electron-withdrawing group, which has a double bond adjacent to the phenyl ring of nitrobenzene, causes the aromatic ring to have a lower electron density than that of benzene.
  2. The ortho and para positions are positive in resonance structures.
  3. Resonance structure of nitrobenzene.

Therefore, due to the presence of the electron-withdrawing group of nitro it possesses negative resonance.
