Which statement about the amide HCONH₂ is correct ?

Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Pushing the nitrogen lone pair towards the carbonyl carbon and the C=O pi pair onto oxygen gives H-C(O⁻)=N⁺H₂. This contributor gives C-N partial double bond character, so the amide group is planar and rotation about C-N is hindered.
