**Question 10:** Which of the following is a resonance structure of the given molecule?

**Given Molecule:**

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{—CH—}\overset{+}{\text{C}}\text{=CH—CH—CH}_3 \]

---

**Options:**

_I._

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{—CH—CH—CH—CH}_2\text{—CH}_3 \]

_II._

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{—CH—CH=}\overset{+}{\text{C}}\text{—CH—CH}_3 \]

_III._

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{—CH=CH—CH}_2\text{—CH—CH}_2\text{—CH}_3 \]

_IV._

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{—CH—CH}\overset{+}{\text{—CH—CH}}\text{—CH}_3 \]

_V._

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{—CH=}\overset{+}{\text{C}}\text{—CH}_2\text{—CH}_2\text{—CH}_3 \]

**Options:**

a. I  
b. II  
c. III  
d. IV  
e. V

---

**Explanation:**

In resonant structures, only the positions of electrons and non-bonding pairs change, whereas the positions of the atoms remain the same. Here, the correct resonance structure should reflect the delocalization of the positive charge and double bonds.
