The correct Answer is:
To determine which set of structures represents resonating structures, we need to identify if the structures can be interconverted by the movement of electrons (without breaking any bonds) while maintaining the same arrangement of atoms.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Structures**: Look at the given sets of structures. For example, we may have structures like HCNO and HOCN.
2. **Check for Electron Movement**: For a pair of structures to be considered resonating structures, they must differ only in the placement of electrons (bonds and lone pairs), not in the arrangement of atoms.
3. **Analyze the First Set**:
- If we have HCNO and HOCN, we notice that the arrangement of atoms is different. This means they cannot be interconverted by simple electron movement. Hence, they are not resonating structures.
4. **Analyze the Second Set**:
- If we have two structures that are both HOCN, they are identical. This means they cannot represent different resonance forms.
5. **Look for Valid Resonating Structures**:
- For example, if you have a structure with a double bond and a positive charge in one form and a single bond with a negative charge in another, these could represent resonating structures as they can be interconverted by moving electrons.
6. **Conclusion**:
- After analyzing the sets, if you find a pair that can be converted into each other by the movement of electrons while keeping the same atoms, that pair represents the resonating structures.
In this case, the correct option is B, which contains structures that can be interconverted through resonance.
