Expert Solution
Step 1 : Introduction

Resonance is the delocalisation of  π electrons (present either in form of unsaturation or in form of lone pair of electrons) and the resulting structures are known as Resonating structures.

In other words, Resonance is the process of movement of freely move π electrons from one atom to another atom in the given structure with the condition that - 

● The bonding framework of the molecule must remain intact. 

● The overall charge of the system must remain same.
