Question

Which one of the following ions is the most resonance stabilized? (A) ethoxide (B) phenoxide (C) tertiarybutoxide (D) isopropoxide

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Phenoxide ion is better resonance stabilished because of its maximum number of resonanace hybird structures as compared to other given species. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/3f4a630492699534beb4d70834aa7621-.png" />
