Vedclass · Answer

(B) $(1)$ Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones. Therefore,structure $I$ is more stable than structures $II$ and $III$.$(2)$ In charged structures,a positive charge on a less electronegative atom is more stable. In structure $II$,the positive charge is on the carbon atom $(C^{\oplus})$,whereas in structure $III$,the positive charge is on the oxygen atom $(O^{\oplus})$. Since carbon is less electronegative than oxygen,structure $II$ is more stable than structure $III$.$	herefore$ The order of stability is $I > II > III$.

The relative stability of the contributing structures is:
