Resonance structures are the different forms of the given molecule where the chemical connectivity is the same but the electrons are distributed differently around the structures

In chlorobenzene the electron pairs are in conjugation with pi electrons of the ring. Thus, C-Cl bond accquires a partial double bond character due to resonance. As a result, the bond cleavage in haloarene is diffcult than chloromethane.
