benzoic acid is the beznene ring and then an acid group on the end. Reasonance is the make up of all the possiblities of where the electrons can be at any time. So to make the overall picture (resonance) the benzene ring has a circle inside and the acid has an overall charge spread across the two oxygen atoms. So the "minus" sign is placed equally between the two oxygen atoms and H+ is put next to the sign. The bonds between the carbon oxygen for both are shown; O-C-O Also put a dashed line between the atoms too to represent a partial bond. I cant draw this.
