Which is expected to be more stable, (...

Which is expected to be more stable,
(I) `O_2NCH_2CH_2O^-` or
(II) `CH_3CH_2O^-` any why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(I)
(II) `CH_3 - CH_2 - O^(Ө)` (no resonance structure)
`(I)` has more number of unpaired `overline e^, s` and convalent bonds.
Therefore, `(I)` is more stable than `(II)`.
