Total bond energy
Does a higher total bond energy imply that the bond is more stable? For example in the 6th edition 8.77, why do the different resonances have different energies and what does that mean for stability?

Re: Total bond energy
No, a higher bond energy means that there is a higher potential E meaning lower stability as the bond has more potential to change. Low bond energy equates to lower potential chemical energy therefore higher stability in the bond. In regard to molecules with resonance structures, they should have a lower bond energy and higher stability because they can orient in multiple different ways.

Re: Total bond energy
Hello!
To remember:
higher energy = less stable bone
lower energy = more stable bond
whenever bonds form, the stabilize the molecule by lowering their energy.
Hope this helps :)
