Which among the following statements is wrong?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Statement (B) is incorrect because a resonance hybrid is always more stable and has lower energy than any individual canonical structure.
Resonance energy lowers the overall potential energy of the hybrid, thereby stabilizing the molecule. Canonical forms are purely imaginary Lewis structures that have no real physical existence.
A resonance hybrid represents the real molecule, averaging the bond lengths and characteristics of all contributing structures.
