What is the definition of the resonance effect?

Options

  1. AThe resonance effect is defined as the transfer of electrons between two atoms.
  2. BThe resonance effect is defined as the polarity produced by the interaction of two π-bonds.
  3. CThe resonance effect is defined as the interaction of lone pairs of electrons.
  4. DThe resonance effect is defined as the movement of atoms in a molecule.

Correct answer

B. The resonance effect is defined as the polarity produced by the interaction of two π-bonds.

Step-by-step solution

The resonance effect is the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two π-bonds or between a π-bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom.
