Expert Solution
Step 1: Defining resonance

Answer:

When a structure fails to describe all the properties of a molecule or ion completely, other structures are drawn using delocalization of straight pi-electrons to describe its properties. This phenomenon is called as resonance and the structures drawn are known as resonating structures. The hybrid structure is the intermediate structure used to represent the molecule. The energy of the resonance hybrid is less than the energy of the other canonical/resonating forms.
