CH(3)COO^(-) ion is more stable than C(2...

`CH_(3)COO^(-)` ion is more stable than `C_(2)H_(5)O^(-)` ion. Assign reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In acetate ion, the negative charge gets dispersed due to the electron withdrawing nature of carbonyl group. On the other hand in ethoxide ion, the `C_(2)H_(5)` group with +I effect tends to increase the electron density on the ion and destabilise it.
