Relative stability of the contributing structures is :
Select the correct option:
A
(I) > (III) > (II)
B
(I) > (II) > (III)
C
(II) > (I) > (III)
D
(III) > (II) > (I)
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
(1) Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones. Therefore I is more stable than II and III.
(2) +ye charge on less electronegative atom is more stable i.e., $\mathrm{C}^{\oplus}$ is more stable than $\mathrm{O}^{\oplus}$
∴ Order is $\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{II}>$ III
