The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is:
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The factors that affect the stability of a species are:
Number of Covalent Bonds: More the number of covalent bonds, more will be the atoms with octet, more will be the stability.
Formal Charge: The species should have the least formal charge to be stable.
Charge Separation: The species should have least charge separation to be stable.
Charge on Atoms: The species with negative charge on electropositive atom and positive charge on electronegative atom will be least stable.
, since neutral resonating structures are more stable than charged resonating structures., since the stability of the structure with –ve charge on more electronegative atom is higher.
Also, in structure I, the octet of every element is complete.
