When two Lewis structures are related as resonance forms,which of the following are true?
I. When compared,the resonance forms have the same atoms connected in the same order.
II. Either individual Lewis structure can be used as an accurate representation of valence electron distribution.
III.Electrons in single bonds may be delocalized in the resonance forms.
IV.Electrons in a multiple bond may be delocalized in the resonance forms.
V. A lone pair of electrons on an atom adjacent to a multiple bond can be delocalized in the resonance forms.

Resonance forms have the same atom connectivity (I), electrons in multiple bonds can be delocalized (IV), and lone pairs adjacent to multiple bonds can be delocalized (V). Single bond electrons are not delocalized (III), and neither individual structure accurately represents electron distribution (II).
