The concept of delocalization or resonance can be explained for quantum mechanical atomic models in which electrons are considered to be spread over the entire molecular orbital.
The fundamental assumption of the valence bond theory contradicts the delocalization. The valence bond theory assumes that a covalent bond forms from the overlap of atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms, and electron density is localized between two specific nuclei.
That is why VBT cannot explain energy stabilization due to the resonance property.

K.E = φ - φ?
φ? = 3 eV = 3 * 1.6 * 10? ¹? J = 4.8 * 10? ¹? J
φ = hc/λ = (6.63 * 10? ³? * 3 * 10? ) / (248 * 10? ) J = 8 * 10? ¹? J
K.E = 8 * 10? ¹? - 4.8 * 10? ¹? = 3.2 * 10? ¹? J
Now using, λ = h / √ (2 K.E m)
λ = (6.63 * 10? ³? ) / √ (2 * 3.2 * 10? ¹? * 9.1 * 10? ³¹) m
λ = (6.63 * 10? ³? ) / (7.63 * 10? ²? ) m = 0.87 * 10? m = 8.7 Å
So, the nearest integer is 9.
