Determine the order of stability of the following resonating structure.
Options
- Ai > ii > iii
- Biii > ii > i
- Ci > iii > ii
- Dii > i > iii
Correct answer
A. i > ii > iii
Step-by-step solution
Charge separation reduces the stability of the resonating structures. If charge separation exists, the structure with opposite charges closer is more stable. So, i is most stable followed by ii and iii
