In this problem, we have a conjugated dine, and it's in a six -membered ring, and we're asked to draw the resonance structure.

So remember when we have a positive charge on the carbon, that means we have a carbon with three bonds and no lone electrons on it.
00:26
So if we think about formal charge, we had four valence electrons for carbon, and here we have three bonds, so we have positive one.
00:34
Well, this can afford to take another bond so we could put a double bond in there and we would lose our positive charge.
00:43
So with that said, electrons from this bond can drop in here and our double bond at the top stays the same, but now our double bond moves to here.

But that's not your final answer.

So remember if we had an overall plus one charge there, we're going to have an overall plus one charge here...
