1. The phenomenon in which two or more structures can be written for a substance which has identical position of atoms is called resonance. 

2. The actual structure of the molecule is said to be a resonance hybrid of the various possible alternative structures.

3. In benzene, Kekule’s structures I and II represented the resonance structures, and structure III is the resonance hybrid of structures I and II. 

4. The structures I and II exist only in theory. The actual structure of benzene is the hybrid of two hypothetical resonance structures.
