   I have uploaded the picture of the structures cuz I couldnt figure out how to type.
   Its vinyl chloride.
   
   According to me the order should be
   I>III>II
   because I has no charge so it must be most stable
   in II we have Cl an electronegative element bearing positive charge which makes it unstable.
   Hence I get the order.
   But the book says the order is I>II>III
   Please Help

   How many electrons are in the valence shell of the Cl in III?

   So III is not a permissible resonance structure according to the ordinary rules.
