How can we check the stability of any ion in a resonating structure?
Are there any other ways to check the stability of an ion in a resonating structure?
Yes, another way is to look at the bond lengths and bond energies in the molecule. In a resonating structure, the bonds are partial bonds that are in between the strengths of single and double bonds. If the bond lengths and energies are closer to those of double bonds, then the molecule is more stable.
