Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two compounds, `O_(2)NCH_(2)CH_(2)O^(-)` or `CH_(3)CH_(2)O^(-)`, is expected to be more stable, we can analyze the effects of the functional groups present in each compound. ### Step 1: Identify the compounds and their structures - The first compound is `O_(2)NCH_(2)CH_(2)O^(-)`, which has a nitro group (`-NO2`) attached to the carbon chain. - The second compound is `CH_(3)CH_(2)O^(-)`, which has an ethyl group and an alkoxide ion. ### Step 2: Analyze the effect of the nitro group - The nitro group (`-NO2`) is known to be a strong electron-withdrawing group due to its -I (inductive) effect. This means it pulls electron density away from the rest of the molecule. ...
