To understand why the acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) is more stable than the ethoxide ion (C₂H₅O⁻), we can analyze the factors affecting the stability of these ions step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of Acetate Ion (CH₃COO⁻)**: - The acetate ion consists of a methyl group (CH₃) attached to a carboxylate group (COO⁻). The carboxylate group has a carbonyl (C=O) and an oxygen atom with a negative charge. - The negative charge on the acetate ion is delocalized between the two oxygen atoms due to resonance. This means that the negative charge is not localized on a single atom but is spread out, which stabilizes the ion. ...
