Resonance is a way of describing delocalized electrons within certain molecules or polyatomic ions where the bonding cannot be expressed by a single Lewis formula. A molecule or ion with such delocalized electrons is represented by several resonance structures.
- The contributing structures do not have any real existence. They are only imaginary. Only the resonance hybrid has the real existence.
- As a result of resonance, the bond length in a molecule becomes equal.
- The resonance hybrid has lower energy and hence greater stability there any of the contributing structure.
- Greater is the resonance energy ,greater is the stability of the molecule.
- Greater is the number of Canonical forms especially with nearly same energy, greater is the stability of the molecule.
