![]() ![]() In particular, the V 7 chord contains both an F (the seventh of the V 7 chord) and a B (the third of the V 7 chord), and these two notes are 6 half notes apart. The instability of the V 7 chord, as you've described, is largely due to the presence of a tritone (diminished fifth) interval in the V 7 chord. That movement toward the root of the I is present, though, in a V-I progression in fact, our ear anticipates that movement/resolution of the chord tones, making the V-I progression even more natural sounding. To our ear, this IV-I resolution is weaker as the IV's chord tones provide no movement toward the root of the I chord. Rather, in this progression (with this particular voice leading), the tones of the IV chord only lead in to the 3rd and 5th tones of the I chord.
