Resonance effect is the polarity produced in a molecule due to interaction between a lone pair of electron and a pi bond or it is produced due to interaction of two pi bonds between two adjacent atoms. Resonance effect can be seen in molecules having conjugated double bond or in molecules having at least one lone pair of electrons and one double bond.
