Question

C-1 : never break a single bond while drawing a resonance structure.

C-2 : never exceed the octet of a second-period atom (C, N, O).

For the curved-arrow move described below, which statement is correct ?

structure

In $(C H_{3})_{2} CH - C H_{3}$ the electrons of a C-H bond on one $C H_{3}$ are pushed to make a new $C = C$ bond between that carbon and the CH carbon.

The C-H single bond is broken (C-1 violated) and the CH carbon now has five bonds (C-2 violated). Both are violated.
