Why is rating structure of aniline is more stable? |
|
Answer» Explanation: least stable because it is, simply put, absolutely disgusting. CHARGE separation (CARBONS two and three) is gross, you have two cations in CLOSE proximity (carbons three and four), a terminal carbocation (carbon 1), and three atoms with empty valence shells (carbons 1, 3, and 4). So while the RESONANCE structure is VALID enough for (C) to be considered a resonance structure, that resonance structure happens to be the spawn of the devil. |
