Question
**Identifying Isomers and Resonance Structures**

In this educational activity, determine the relationship between Structure A and Structure B in each row of the table. The possible relationships are: isomers, resonance structures, or neither.

### Table Details:

1. **Row 1:**
   - **Structure A:** 
     - A carbon-carbon triple bond with an adjacent nitrogen atom: H—C≡C—N:
   - **Structure B:** 
     - A nitrogen atom attached to a C-C single bond, followed by a triple bond to another nitrogen: :N≡C—C—H
   - **Relationship:** Isomers

2. **Row 2:**
   - **Structure A:**
     - A carbon-nitrogen double bond with oxygen as a terminal atom: H—C=C—O:
   - **Structure B:**
     - Similar structure with a different arrangement of electrons indicating a possible reactive state: :O=C=C—H
   - **Relationship:** Neither

3. **Row 3:**
   - **Structure A:**
     - Contains a carbon-nitrogen double bond, with a positive charge on the nitrogen atom. 
   - **Structure B:**
     - A carbon double-bonded to oxygen, with the positive charge on carbon and an attached nitrogen atom.
   - **Relationship:** Neither

Each structure depicts different arrangements and connectivity of atoms and electrons, and understanding these variations is crucial for correctly classifying the relationship.
