(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The more stable species has to be identified from the given species.

Concept Introduction:

Features that decrease the predicted stability:

  • An atom with an incomplete octet.
  • A negative charge that is not on the most electronegative atom.
  • A positive charge on that is on an electronegative atom.
  • Charge separation.

Resonance is an electron displacement effect for stabilizing a molecule through delocalization of bonding electrons in the pi orbital.

Delocalized electrons stabilize a compound. The extra stability gains from having delocalized electrons are called resonance stabilization or resonance energy.
