MCQ
Relative stability of the contributing structures is :
  • A
    $(I) $>$ (III) $>$ (II)$
  • $(I) $>$ (II) $>$ (III)$
  • C
    $(II) $>$ (I) $>$ (III)$
  • D
    $(III) $>$ (II) $>$ (I)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(I) $>$ (II) $>$ (III)$
b
$(1)$ Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones. Therefore I is more stable than $II$ and $III$.

$(2)$ +ve charge on less electronegative atom is more stable i.e., $\mathrm{C}^{\oplus}$ is more stable than $\mathrm{O}^{\oplus}$

$\therefore \quad$ Order is $\mathrm{I}>$ II $>$ $III$
