Question 16 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 2)
The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) I $>$ II $>$ III
(2) II $>$ I $>$ III
(3) I $=$ II $=$ III
(4) III $>$ II $>$ I
Show Answer
Answer (1)
Solution
Formula: Resonance
I $>$ II $>$ III, since neutral resonating structures are more stable than charged resonating structure. II $>$ III, since stability of structure with - ve charge on more electronegative atom is higher.
