Resonance and Stability
I wrote in my course reader that resonance affects the stability of the anion. Can someone explain to me how this works? (unless I wrote it down completely wrong haha)

Re: Resonance and Stability
Resonance structures are more stable as a rule because the electrons are de-localized, which lowers the potential energy of the system.
