(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The important resonance forms for the given compound; the major and minor contributors in the resonating structures and if they have the same energy.

Interpretation: The important resonance forms for the given compound is to be stated; the major and minor contributors in the resonating structures are to be indicated or whether they have same energy is to be stated

Concept introduction: Resonance is the process in which a molecule gets different structures to define its bonding within the molecule. Such molecules cannot be represented in single Lewis structures. Resonating structures of such molecules are called contributing structures. In the process of resonance, shifting of lone pairs occurs with the bonds and other lone pairs.

The major contributors are those resonating structures in which almost all the atoms have a complete octet.

The minor contributors are those resonating structures in which atoms do not have a complete  octet and electronegative atom carries positive charge and vice-versa.
