Question

Is resonance energy positive or negative?


Open in App
Solution

Resonance energy

The stability of a molecule has a direct relationship with its resonance energy. As a result, raising the resonance energy of a molecule enhances its stability.

  1. Any compound's resonance energy is always negative.
  2. The difference between the molecule's true structure and its most stable resonant structure is the resonance energy.
  3. The genuine structure will, on average, be more stable.

Hence, the resonance energy of any compound will always be negative.
