Question 34

The order of relative stability of the contributing structures is :

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

Rule 1: Neutral vs. Charged Structures

Structure I is neutral and all its atoms have complete octets. Therefore, it is the most stable structure.
Order so far: I > (II, III)

Rule 2: Electronegativity and Charge Placement

When comparing the charged structures (II and III):
- In Structure II, the negative charge is on the highly electronegative oxygen atom ($$\text{O}^\ominus$$), and the positive charge is on a carbon atom. This is a favorable, stable distribution.
- In Structure III, the negative charge is placed on a carbon atom and a positive charge is placed on the highly electronegative oxygen atom ($$\text{O}^\oplus$$). This is highly unfavorable and unstable.
