why cyclooctatetraene does not show resonance structures

Answer:
- Any angle strain from being planar is so quickly overtaken by the huge jump in stability that aromaticity brings that the molecule will twist to form an aromatic structure in a blink. If cyclooctatetraene were planar, it would be an antiaromatic compound according to Hückel's rule, because it has 8 π-electrons
