A double-headed arrow (↔) is placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance. Resonance structures represent possible arrangements of electrons within a molecule without changing the overall position of the atoms.
A double-headed arrow "->" is placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance.

Butadiene has two resonance structures due to the delocalization of electrons between the two double bonds. The first resonance structure has alternating single and double bonds, while the second has a double bond on one end and a single bond on the other. These resonance structures contribute to the stability of the molecule.
Yes, $\text{RbIO}_2$ has resonance structures due to the presence of multiple bonds between the $\text{Rb}$ and $\text{I}$ atoms. Resonance structures are different forms of a molecule where the arrangement of electrons is changed, but the overall molecular structure remains the same.
Yes, the Lewis structure for SO2 does have resonance structures. The sulfur atom can form multiple bonding arrangements with the oxygen atoms, leading to resonance where the double bond can be located between sulfur and either of the oxygen atoms.

Resonance structures are theoretical representations of electron distribution within molecules, not physical entities that can be trapped or isolated for study. It is not possible to trap or isolate a specific resonance structure because molecules exist as dynamic entities, constantly shifting between different resonance forms. Experiments and computational methods are used to understand the overall electronic structure of molecules in terms of their resonance forms.

Yes, OF2 has resonance structures. The oxygen atoms can have a double bond between either of the two oxygen atoms, resulting in different valid Lewis structures.
There is only one resonance structure for BeF2 since beryllium (Be) does not form multiple bonds due to its electron configuration (2 valence electrons). Therefore, the Lewis structure of BeF2 shows two single bonds between beryllium and each fluorine atom.
The best resonance structure of the phosphate ion has one double bond and three single bonds. The double bond is between the central phosphorus atom and one of the oxygen atoms.

The nitrate ion (NO3-) has all identical and shorter bond lengths because of the resonance structure of the molecule. The delocalization of electrons through resonance causes the bond lengths to be equalized. The actual structure is an average between multiple resonance structures, leading to equal bond lengths. The bonds in NO3- are shorter than a nitrogen-oxygen single bond due to the partial double bond character resulting from resonance stabilization.
Ozone is not an example of resonance (by all possible meanings). It does have two bonding forms that it occasionally changes between. These two forms are called resonant states... but the bonding does not "resonate" per se.
