The stability order of the following resonance structures is

  1. A III < II < I
  2. B II > I > III
  3. C II < I < III
  4. D II > III > I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) III < II < I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(I) A neutral structure, which has complete octet is most stable resonating structure. Since, more electronegative atom consist negative charge. Hence, (II) is more stable as compared to (III). \(\therefore\) Stability order \(\rightarrow\) III \( < \) II \( < \) I Hence, option…
