Aromatic Compounds Containing Nitrogen - Result Question 25

####26. Examine the following two structures of anilinium ion and choose the correct statement from the ones given below :

$(1993,1 M)$

(a) II is not an acceptable canonical structure because carbonium ions are less stable than ammonium ions

(b) II is not an acceptable canonical structure because it is non-aromatic

(c) II is not an acceptable canonical structure because the nitrogen has 10 valence electrons

(d) II is an acceptable canonical structure

Show Answer
