Expert Solution
Step 1: Write down the definition of resonance structures and rules for writing resonance

Resonance structures are structures where there is delocalization of electrons to impart overall stability to the molecule.

The rules for writing resonance structures are as follows:

1. The overall charge of all the resonance structures remains the same.

2. The position of all the atoms in resonance structure remains the same.
