Resonance
Resonance is a hypothetical concept in which several
different structures of any molecule are used to describe
bonding and properties of that molecule instead of one
Lewis structure.
,
, Resonating structures
For a molecule, various Lewis structures can be drawn collectively;
all the structures are known as resonating structures that describe
the delocalization of electrons in a molecule.
Resonance hybrid
It is a hybrid structure of all the resonating structures possible
for a molecule which explains all the properties of a molecule.
It is the most stable and real structure and has the lowest
energy.
