**Curved Arrows in Resonance Structures**

Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Using the provided resonance structures, draw the curved electron-pushing arrows to show the interconversion between resonance hybrid contributors. Be sure to account for all bond-breaking and bond-making steps.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image provides a molecular structure containing carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. The structure features:

- An oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom, with two lone pairs of electrons shown on the oxygen.
- A nitrogen atom singly bonded to a carbon atom, with one lone pair of electrons shown on the nitrogen.
- The task involves drawing arrows to represent the movement of electrons during resonance. This involves accounting for electron flow, breaking, or forming of pi bonds and lone pairs as needed to achieve different resonance forms.

Expert Solution
Step 1 resonating structure

In resonance pie electrons are delocalised from one atom to other from high electron density to low electron density and the structure formed is known as resonating structure.
