Draw two significant resonance structures for the molecule below (start at the same site of instability for both). Only one lone pair and formal charge are provided; provide any formal charges and lone pairs that are missing on the original structure and on your resonance forms. Make sure to draw curved arrows correctly (starting from a bond/lone pair) and be very clear where the head of the arrow is pointing. Finally, rank them from most stable to least stable and justify your choices. The skeleton for your resonance is provided.
