Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2024 · 27 January, Shift 2

The order of relative stability of the contributing structures shown below is:

(I) CH2=CHC    H=O\mathrm{CH_2{=}CH{-}\overset{\;\;}{C}H{=}O}    (II) CH2CH=CHO\mathrm{\overset{\oplus}{C}H_2{-}CH{=}CH{-}\overset{\ominus}{O}}    (III) CH2CH=CHO\mathrm{\overset{\ominus}{C}H_2{-}CH{=}CH{-}\overset{\oplus}{O}}

(I) is the neutral structure, (II) carries the negative charge on oxygen and (III) carries the negative charge on carbon.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A

    I>II>IIII > II > III

  • B

    II>I>IIIII > I > III

  • C

    I=II=IIII = II = III

  • D

    III>II>IIII > II > I
