An incorrect statement regarding resonating structures is : 

1.  The contributing structure must have the same number of unpaired electrons.
2.  The contributing structures should have similar energies.
3.  The resonance hybrid should have a higher energy than any of the contributing structures.
4.  None of the above.

\(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_3\) can be represented by structures 1 and 2 shown below.


However, these two structures cannot be considered as canonical forms of a resonance hybrid because:

1. The positions of the atoms are different in each structure.

2. The positions of the atoms remain unchanged.

3. \(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_3\) does not show resonance.

4. Two hydrogen atoms are missing.
