Question

Are there resonance structures for the following molecule?

The image depicts the chemical structure of bromostyrene. This structure contains a benzene ring, represented as a hexagon with alternating double bonds, indicating aromaticity. Attached to the benzene ring are:

1. A bromine atom (Br) attached to one of the carbon atoms in the ring.
2. An ethylene group (–CH=CH2) attached to another carbon in the ring. 

This layout shows the connectivity of atoms within the bromostyrene molecule.
