The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AI > II > III
- BII > I > III
- CI = II = III
- DIII > II > I
Correct answer
A. I > 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 > II , since neutral resonating structur
