Relative stability of the contributing structures is :
Options
- A(I) ( > ) (II) ( > ) (III)
- B(I) ( > ) (III) ( > ) (II)
- C( (II) > (I) > (III) )
- D( (III) > (II) > (I) )
Correct answer
A. (I) ( > ) (II) ( > ) (III)
Step-by-step solution
(1) Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones. Therefore I is more stable than II and III. (2) +ve charge on less electronegative atom is more stable i.e., C ^ is more stable than O ^ Order is I > III > III
