A student made up the following analogy for resonance stabilization: “A kid lives on a block with very few fences separating the back yards. The larger the number of yards he and the other kids have access to, the happier they are.”

a. Explain what each underlined element of the analogy represents in terms of chemistry.

A second student thinks this analogy is incomplete. She adds: “To figure out the happiness of a kid you must consider both the number of yards he has access to and the quality of the grass in each yard.

b. What does the quality of the grass in each yard represent in terms of chemistry?
