So if your electrons are delocalized, they still have more or less the same potential energy, since the average nucleuselecton distance isnt changing. Since electrons are charges, the presence of delocalized electrons brings extra stability to a system compared to a similar system where electrons are localized. It has been my understanding that delocalized electrons that participate in metallic bonds come from the highest primary energy level, specifically from the s and p sublevels and that electrons in d orbitals from one level lower do not delocalize.

Modern valence bond theory opinions aromatic properties of molecules as due to a spin coupling of the pi orbitals. We show that the delocalization indices calculated within the framework of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules provide an excellent basis for the definition of a bond order in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In chemistry, resonance is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or ions by the combination of several contributing structures or forms, also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures into a resonance hybrid or hybrid structure in valence bond theory.
