Which is not an example of resonance ?

(I) structure structure

(II) structure structure

(III) structure structure

(IV) structure structure

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

(I), (III) and (IV) move only pi electrons.

In (II) the + moves from the outside the ring to a ring carbon. That needs a hydride shift (an H atom changes position). It is a rearrangement, not resonance.
