Q12 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1) · Chemistry

The difference in energy between the actual structure and the lowest energy resonance structure for the given compound is:

  • A
    electromeric energy
  • Correct answer
    B
    resonance energy
  • C
    ionization energy
  • D
    hyperconjugation energy

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.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
