Given that:
(i)
(ii) Bond energies of
The resonance energy of is:
The enthalpy of formation of is given as 82 kJ/mol
The reaction could be written as.
Now Calculating bond dissociation enthalpy,
Resonance energy = Observed heat of formation - Calculated heat of formation
Resonance energy = 82 - 170 = -88 kJ/mol
