Explain why the following two structures, I and II cannot be the major contributors to the real structure of CH 3 COOCH 3 .

Options

  1. Abecause both structures are highly stable
  2. Bbecause one oxygen atom has a negative charge in both the structures
  3. Cbecause they are most important resonance contributors
  4. DThe two structures are less important contributors as they involve charge separation. Additionally, structure

Correct answer

D. The two structures are less important contributors as they involve charge separation. Additionally, structure

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) The two structures are less important contributors as they involve charge separation. Additionally, structure I contains a carbon atom with an incomplete octet.
