One of the best ways to fully understand this on a deeper level is by constructing chords of 4 th intervals, called “quartal harmony”, and playing chord progressions with quartal harmony chords within a scale. No longer stacking 3rds, you are no longer “locked in” within the harmonic series.
In this chapter we will learn how to both incorporate and handle a dissonance in a chord, specifically the dissonance of the diminished fifth found between the root and fifth chord tones of the diminished triad which is built on scale degree in the major diatonic mode.
Dissonant in music means "unresolved", and is caused by pitch relationships involving complex ratios of frequencies. If deployed skillfully, the restlessness and instability of dissoance makes the music compelling to the listener in the same way that conflict in a movie or television drama makes the show interesting to watch.
The easiest dissonant "chord" would be something like a V7 (let's say G7 in Cmajor) which uses the 7th interval as the dissonant, leading tone to guide the ear back to I. Essentially, you are looking at VII and II as being your predominantly dissonant intervals, while III and VI will be harmonic.
Strategies for Avoiding Dissonance: Chord Substitutions, Changing the Rhythm, and Changing the Chord Progression. Sometimes the combination of a note of the melody and a note within a harmonic chord will cause dissonance, also known as “that assy sound." The dissonance is caused by two or more tones that “clash.”.

The consonance or dissonance of a chord is related, but it's not a very strong relationship in many cases. The best example I can think of is sometimes a very dissonant, tense chord structure resolves to a target chord. For instance C#dim7 may resolve to Dmin7, or Eb7#11 may resolve to Dmaj7.
