SUMMARY
The major resonance contributor of the organic molecule discussed involves the migration of a double bond and the formation of an oxonium ion. Specifically, the double bond shifts to the lowest bond position adjacent to the carbon atom, while a lone pair from oxygen migrates to create a double bond. This process stabilizes the molecule through resonance, highlighting the importance of understanding electron movement in organic structures.
