- Resonance considered as movement of electrons in the form of lone-pairs or pi-bond

- It increases stability of compounds by decreasing its energy.

- In this compound we have positive charge on oxygen which is in conjugation with double bond so the electrons of pi-bond moves in direction of the positive charge leaving positive charge on the adjacent carbon
