Inductive effect is basically a tug of war between 2 elements.........the electron pair is shifted to the more electronegative side causing partial positive and negative charges
one important thing u must keep in mind is that electrons are only partially displaced.......they dont leave common octet........so u dont get entire charges (like in electromeric effect) also......this is a permenanent effect and does not depend on presence of any reagent (unlike electromeric)

Rate If Useful

About resonance effect.......its simple the localization of double bonds (and pi electrons) to form structructures which keep alternating.......

The inductive effect in chemistry is an experimentally observable effect of the transmission of charge through a chain of atoms in a molecule by electrostatic induction (IUPAC definition). The net polar effect exerted by a substituent is a combination of this inductive effect and the mesomeric effect.
The electron cloud in a ?-bond between two unlike atoms is not uniform and is slightly displaced towards the more electronegative of the two atoms. This causes a permanent state of bond polarization, where the more electronegative atom has a slight negative charge(?-) and the other atom has a slight positive charge(?+).
If the electronegative atom is then joined to a chain of atoms, usually carbon, the positive charge is relayed to the other atoms in the chain. This is the electron-withdrawing inductive effect, also known as the -I effect.
Some groups, such as the alkyl group are less electron-withdrawing than hydrogen and are therefore considered as electron-releasing. This is electron releasing character is indicated by the +I effect.
As the induced change in polarity is less than the original polarity, the inductive effect rapidly dies out, and is significant only over a short distance. The inductive effect is permanent but feeble, as it involves the shift of strongly held ?-bond electrons, and other stronger factors may overshadow this effect.
The inductive effect may be caused by some molecules also. Relative inductive effects have been experimentally measured with reference to hydrogen.
