(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The important resonance forms for the given compound; the major and minor contributors in the resonating structures; if they have the same energy and any important missing resonance form.

Interpretation: The important resonance forms for the given compound are to be stated; the major and minor contributors in the resonating structures are to be indicated; whether they have same energy is to be stated and any important missing resonating form is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Resonance is the process in which a molecule gets different structures to define its bonding within the molecule. Such molecules cannot be represented in single Lewis structures. Resonating structures of such molecules are called contributing structures. In the process of resonance shifting of lone pairs occur with the bonds and other lone pairs.

The major contributors are those resonating structures in which almost all the atoms have filled octet.

The minor contributors are those resonating structures in which atoms do not have complete octet and electronegative atom carries positive charge and vice-versa.
