What is the difference between inductive effect and resonance effect?

Answer: The primary distinction that can be made between inductive and resonance effects is that the inductive effect discusses the transfer of electrical charges among atoms within a molecule, whereas the second goes on to explain the transfer of two electrons between atoms in a molecule.

• The influence caused by stimulated electrical currents in the molecule’s atoms is known as the inductive effect. 
• The resonance effect is the main cause that leads the electrons to delocalize among atoms. Resonance is caused by molecules that have double bonds.
