Question
Identify more favourable resonance structure from the following. Justify.
✓
Answer
a.
Structure (I) will be more favourable resonance structure as structure (II) involves separation of opposite charges and the electronegative oxygen atom has a positive charge.
Both structures (I) and (II) involves separation of opposite charges, but structure (I) has a positive charge on the more electropositive ‘C’ and a negative charge on more electronegative ‘O’. Thus, structure (I) will be more favourable resonance structure.
