Jun 19, 2018 at 22:57 comment added pentavalentcarbon This is not a duplicate, because the question conflates resonance structures with molecular motion and vibration.
Jun 19, 2018 at 21:41 comment added orthocresol The distances between the carbon atoms certainly change, but the bonds do not oscillate between single and double bonds...
Jun 19, 2018 at 21:26 comment added Ivan Neretin They don't oscillate like that even at room temperature. Instead, they kinda stay halfway between. The picture does not illustrate what you think it does.
