Chemistry Question on Resonance
The difference in energy between the actual structure and the lowest energy resonance structure for the given compound is
A
Electromeric energy
B
Resonance energy
C
Ionization energy
D
Hyperconjugation energy
Answer
Resonance energy
Explanation
Solution
- The difference in energy between the actual structure of a molecule and its most stable resonance structure is known as resonance energy. - Resonance energy indicates the extra stability gained by a compound due to resonance, where electrons are delocalized across atoms.
So, the correct answer is: Resonance Energy (2)
