Expert Solution

Step 1: Explain Resonance concept

Concept of Resonance;

When all the properties of a molecule cannot be explained by a single structure, we draw more than one possible structure. these more than one structures of a molecule are called resonating structure and the process is called resonance.

Arrow direction during resonance;

An arrow always depicts from a region of high electron density to low electron density ; that is tail depicts region of of high electron density and head depicts region of low electron density.
