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 $C H_{2} = CH - N H_{2}$ the lone pair on nitrogen is pushed to make a $C = N$ bond and, at the same time, the $C = C$ pi pair is pushed onto the terminal carbon.

The N lone pair forms the C = N bond, and the C = C pi pair leaves the carbon that bears N, so that carbon keeps four bonds. No single bond is broken. No violation.
