About this listen

Some molecules refuse to sit still—they exist in multiple states at once. Welcome to the bizarre world of resonance, where electrons play quantum musical chairs, making molecules unusually stable. This episode breaks down the chemistry behind benzene (found in everything from gasoline to DNA), explains why some molecules refuse to react, and reveals how resonance powers perfumes, drugs, and even your body.


Why do some molecules last forever while others break down instantly? And how does this molecular phenomenon shape everything from medicine to materials science? Prepare for some next-level chemistry—where molecules defy expectations and rewrite the rules of stability.
