Resonance energy of the 2 ring system naphthalene = 61 kcal mol-1 (or 30.5/ring)
Resonance energy of the 3 ring systel anthracene = 84 kcal mol-1 (or 28/ring)
In the oxidation of anthracene forming anthraquinone you would leave 2 separate benzene rings intact (at first approximation this would give 72 kcal mol-1 of resonance energy. )
