Resonance structures of propenal are given below. Which of these resonating structures is more stable ? Give reason for your answer.
`CH_(2)=underset("I")(CH-CH)=O harr underset("II")(overset(o+)(CH)_(2)-CH=CH-overset(Theta)(O))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Structure (I) is more stable. Since there is no charge separation and the two double bonds are in conjugated positions. Moreover all the atoms (C and O) have complete octel.
