A molecule with zero formal charges on all atoms is drawn below. Identify which group of the periodic table each of the elements X, Y, Z, and A, belong to. A A A -X A A :Z-A Ÿ-Aarrow_forwardWhat is delocalization energy? How is it related to resonance energy? Answer by selecting all true statements. 00 Resonance energy is a term used in VB theory. Resonance energy and delocalization energy are term that describe different conditions. Resonance energy is a term used in MO theory. Resonance energy and delocalization energy are essentially the same thing. Resonance energy and delocalization energy represent the additional stability associated with a spreading out of electron density. Delocalization energy is a term used in VB theory. Delocalization energy is a term used in MO theory. Resonance energy and delocalization energy represent the additional stability associated with concentrating electron density.arrow_forward
