Question: Which of the following species is most stable due to resonance?
Options:
A) $ CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3 $
B) $ CH_3-CH=CH-CHO $
C) $ CH_3-CH=CH-COOH $
D) $ CH_3-CH=CH-NO_2 $
Show Answer
Answer: d
Explanation:
A) $ CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3 $ has limited resonance structures.
B) $ CH_3-CH=CH-CHO $ has some resonance stabilization.
C) $ CH_3-CH=CH-COOH $ has resonance stabilization but less than option d.
D) $ CH_3-CH=CH-NO_2 $ has the most extensive resonance stabilization due to the strong electron-withdrawing nature of the $ NO_2 $ group.
