Which of the two: O 2 NCH 2 CH 2 O – or CH 3 CH 2 O – is expected to be more stable and why?
Options
- ANitroethoxide ion and Ethoxide ion are two names of same structure
- BNitroethoxide ion is more stable than ethoxide ion due to +I effect of nitro group which decreases the negativ
- CThe statement is false
- DNitroethoxide ion is more stable than ethoxide ion due to -I effect of nitro group which decreases the negativ
Correct answer
D. Nitroethoxide ion is more stable than ethoxide ion due to -I effect of nitro group which decreases the negativ
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Nitroethoxide ion is more stable than ethoxide ion due to -I effect of nitro group which decreases the negative charge of oxide ion of nitroethoxide ion leading to stability.
