X = number of resonance structures contributing to the resonance hybrid of structure

Y = number of resonance structures contributing to the resonance hybrid of structure

Find the sum X + Y.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Aniline : 2 Kekule forms + 3 forms with the N lone pair donated (charge on the ortho, ortho and para carbons) = 5. So X = 5.

Anilinium ion has no lone pair on N, so only 2 Kekule forms. Y = 2.

X + Y = 7.
