The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is:...

The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is:

The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is: Choose the correct answer from the options given

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AI>II>IIII > II > III
  2. BII>I>IIIII > I > III
  3. CI=II=IIII = II = III
  4. DIII>II>IIII > II > I

Correct answer

A. I>II>IIII > II > III

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.

I>III > II, since neutral resonating structures are more stable than charged resonating structures.II>IIIII > III, 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.
