some rules need to be followed while drawing the resonating structures.

if there is a multiple pi bond between the alternate atoms.
lone pair – lone pair adjacent.
charge – double/triple bond adjacent.
charge – lone pair.
lone pair and double/triple bond’
octet should be completed after sharing the bond.
All the resonaing structures have the same no. of elctrons.

@ mahak
let me to frst define resonance for you .
its the property of compound having the charecteristics of two or more structural forms and they differ only in the distribution of electron , is known as resonance /
to draw resoinanting structure u need to keep in mind some rule .
rule 1 – resonance structure must have same no of electrons .

2- all resonance structure must be valid lewis dot structure .

3- in resonance structure the hybridisation doesnot change .

4- the position of atom are same in all structure .

5- resonance structure need not to be equivalent .
