I can't seem to figure out the resonance structures of these molecules, especially the more difficult ones! My attempt at answering the question is in the link above. Any help provided would be eternally appreciated!

(d) One is not allowed to move or to take away atoms when writing resonance structures.

Well, at least, (d) is a popular one: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=96983.0;topicseen So you can use that thread for some help.

You did not complete your resonance form for (f). There are several forms possible.

Hi, unfortunately I don't even know where to begin

any hints?

Try pushing the electron pair on the top carbon so that you end up with a pair of electrons on the very bottom carbon.

d) when pushing the electrons check the valancy of carbon!
