Mistake in the resonance structure

[edit]

The structure on the right has more lewis dots than it should have (9 pairs instead of 8). - 2A01:36C:109:2962:548F:DD20:EB93:F48E 20:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed incorrect. In particular, the lower-left oxygen has an extra pair. I annotated the image. However, it's a faithful and properly-licensed/attributed copy of the incorrect image in the original OpenStax CNX textbook. I'll see if I can contact their support channel for them to fix it.
