Hyperconjugation Resonance of Cations...Notice how the hybridization of the methyl group has to change prior to the formation of the pi bond.
Hyperconjugation Resonance of Radicals
Resonance of Benzene...Note that the bond order of the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene is 1.5 not 1 and 2.
Resonance of Electron Withdrawing Groups with pi Bonds
Resonance of Electron Donating Groups with pi Bonds
Acidity of Phenol...The phenoxide anion is well stabilized by resonance.
Basicity
of Aniline...The electron pair on the nitrogen atom is delocalized
and is less available for sharing.
