Assertion: The following structures (I) and (II) cannot be the major contributors to the real structure of CH3COOCH3. Reason: Both the structures involve charge separation and structure (I) contains a carbon atom with an incomplete octet.

The both structure have charge separation so they are not the major contributor to the real structure of CH 3- overset underset||OC - O - CH 3 and II is giving more contribution than I because I have a carbon atom with incomplete octet <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/41fc0586aa8700eab55ec797198bc408-.png" />

Q. Assertion : The following structures $(I)$ and $(II)$ cannot be the major contributors to the real structure of $C H_{3} COOC H_{3}$ .

Reason : Both the structures involve charge separation and structure $(I)$ contains a carbon atom with an incomplete octet.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are true false

The both structure have charge separation so they are not the major contributor to the real structure of $C H_{3} - C ∣∣ O - O - C H_{3}$ and II is giving more contribution than I because I have a carbon atom with incomplete octet

Q. Assertion : The following structures (I) and (II) cannot be the major contributors to the real structure of CH3​COOCH3​. Reason : Both the structures involve charge separation and structure (I) contains a carbon atom with an incomplete octet.
