The difference in energy between the actual structure and the lowest energy resonance structure for the given compound is:
Options
- Aelectromeric energy
- Bresonance energy
- Cionization energy
- Dhyperconjugation energy
Correct answer
B. resonance energy
Step-by-step solution
The difference in energy between the actual structure and the lowest energy resonance structure for the given compound is known as resonance energy. The resonance energy of a compound is a measure of the extra stability of the conjugated system compared to the corresponding number of isolated double bonds.
