Write the resonance structure of phenol ...

Write the resonance structure of phenol in order of decreasing stabilities .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the resonating structure of phenol as shown below structures(I) and (V) are more stable than the others Structures(III),(IV) and (V) are less stable due to charge separation and positive charge on oxygen atom
Order of stability `implies (I) =(V) gt (II) =(IV) gt (III)`
(I) and (V) implies Uncharged structures (III) implies More charge separation Order of energy ` implies (III) gt (II) = (IV) gt (I) = (V)`
(II) and (IV) implies Less charge separation
