Why are resonance hybrid supposed to be considered to be stable?

Featured Replies

why are they resonance hybrid considered to have a lower energy state than other resonance hybrid?does the delocaliazation of electrons cause?if yes then y?sad.png ..help me ASAp

Perhaps if you were to rephrase your question to make sense is could be answered.

 

What do you actually mean please?

I think he is saying why the hybrid is more stable than the resonance structure.

for example benzene's structure is intermediate between the other resonance structures and stable. but why?

I know the fact since high school but I didn't read any thing why delocalization stabilize it.

When I google it I found this link check it out... this might help.
