AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two structures, (A) CH₃COOH (acetic acid) and (B) CH₃COO⁻ (acetate ion), is more stabilized by resonance, we will analyze the resonance structures of both compounds step by step. ### Step 1: Draw the Lewis Structures 1. **Structure A (CH₃COOH)**: - The structure is CH₃-C(=O)-OH. - The carbon atom (C) is bonded to a methyl group (CH₃), a carbonyl group (C=O), and a hydroxyl group (OH). - Oxygen in the hydroxyl group has two lone pairs. ...
