Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Resonance Structures

Resonance structures are different ways of drawing the same molecule, showing the delocalization of electrons. They must have the same arrangement of atoms but differ in the placement of electrons.

Step 2: Analyzing Each Row

We need to examine each set of structures to determine if they are resonance structures of the same molecule. This involves checking if the atoms are in the same positions and only the electrons are rearranged.

Step 3: Applying the Criteria

For each row, we will:

  1. Check if the atoms are in the same positions.
  2. Verify if only the electrons (bonds and lone pairs) are rearranged.
Step 4: Summarizing the Results

We will summarize our findings in the table format provided.

Final Answer

Since the specific structures are not provided in the question, we cannot analyze them directly. However, the process to determine if they are resonance structures is as follows:

  1. Ensure the atoms are in the same positions in all structures.
  2. Check if only the electrons are rearranged.

If both conditions are met, the answer is "yes"; otherwise, it is "no".

\[ \boxed{\text{Use the criteria above to determine if each set of structures are resonance structures.}} \]
