Question

What is resonance (mesomeric) effect?
Options
A The permanent polarization through sigma bonds
B The simultaneous decrease in electron density at one position and increase at another due to delocalization of pi electrons
Correct Answer
C The complete transfer of an electron pair to one atom
D The homolytic cleavage of a bond
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Resonance or mesomeric effect involves delocalization of pi electrons in conjugated systems, leading to electron density redistribution.

Hint

Delocalization in conjugated systems.
