    Why when a chemical species is stablized by resonance, its energy

    Why when a chemical species is stablized by resonance, its energy level is lower? As I know, resonance is only a kind of electrons delocalization within the species. There is no interaction between that species and the environment.

    RLC Series/Parallel Impedance Near Resonance

    Hey, The impedance of the series and parallel RLC circuit both tend to R near the resonant frequency (one is a min/ one is a max) so if I expand the frequency around this point I should be able to show they are the same for \delta \omega small right?
