(II) `CH_3CH_2O^-` any why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two species, (I) `O_2NCH_2CH_2O^-` or (II) `CH_3CH_2O^-`, is more stable, we need to analyze the effects of the substituents on the stability of the negative charge on the oxygen atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - (I) `O_2NCH_2CH_2O^-`: This compound has a nitro group (`-NO2`) attached to a carbon chain that leads to an oxygen atom with a negative charge. - (II) `CH_3CH_2O^-`: This compound has an ethyl group (`-CH2CH3`) attached to an oxygen atom with a negative charge. ...
