Does resonance always lead to stabilization of cyclic conjugated syste

1.	Does resonance always lead to stabilization of cyclic conjugated systems ?
Answer» Solution :Resonance is a hypothetical concept which has been developed to explain the extra stability of cyclic conjugated SYSTEMS containing (4 n + 2) `pi`-electrons. In case of cyclic systems containing 4 n `pi`-electrons, resonance actually destabilizes the molecules and makes them ANTIAROMATIC THOUGH we can STILL write resonance structures as SHOWN below :
