Question

He resonance structures of carbon monoxide are shown below. show how each structure can be converted into the other using the curved-arrow notation. to draw an arrow, click on the structure to enter the edit mode, then click on the curved arrow icon.

Answer 1

The two resonating structures of Carbon Monoxide are shown below.
The movement of electrons are shown by arrow.

Structure A:
In structure a A the formal charges of Carbon and Oxygen are zero. As Formal Charge is calculated as,

= # of valence electron - electrons in lone pairs + 1/2 bonding electrons electrons

For C:
= 4 - 2 + 4/2
= 4- 4
= 0

For O:
= 6 - 4 + 4/2
= 6- 6
= 0

Structure B:

Formal Charge on C:

= 4 - 2 + 6/2
= 4- 5
= -1

Formal Charge on O:

= 6 - 2 + 6/2
= 6 - 5
= +1
