Resonance Energy

The difference in energy between the actual structure of a molecule and the energy of the most stable resonance structure, indicating stability due to resonance.

Stability

The tendency of a chemical compound to maintain its original state or resist decomposition under specific conditions.

S-trans Conformation

A spatial arrangement in which substituent groups are on opposite sides of a double bond or single bond in a chain, leading to a more extended structure.
