Please note that while nitro groups are so electron withdrawing that delocalization
of their associated positive charge plays a minimal role in any family of resonance
structures, this delocalization is technically possible. Try to identify additional res-
onance structures where the positive charge is delocalized.
The following represent the resonance forms of the 3-nitroacetophenone anion:
