JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.4. Organic chemistry reaction mechanism
The order of relative stability of the contributing structure is: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

- A \( I > II > III\)
- B \(II > I > III\)
- C \(\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{II}=\mathrm{III}\)
- D \(III > II > I\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( I > II > III\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(I\) \(>\) \(II\) \(>\) \(III\), since neutral resonating structures are more stable than charged resonating structure. \(II\) \(>\) \(III\), since stability of structure with -ve charge on more electronegative atom is higher.
