The enthalpy of formation of N_{2}O is given as 82 kJ/mol

The reaction could be written as.

N_{2}(g) +\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g) \rightarrow N_{2}O(g)  

Now Calculating bond dissociation enthalpy, \Delta _{cal}H = \sum Reactants - \sum Products

\Delta _{cal}H = (946 + \frac{1}{2}498) - (418+607)

\Delta _{cal}H = 170\; kJ/mol

Resonance energy = Observed heat of formation - Calculated heat of formation

Resonance energy = 82 - 170 = -88 kJ/mol
