The correct Answer is:
To analyze the stability of buta-1,3-diene compared to penta-1,4-diene, we will evaluate both statements provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Buta-1,3-diene (C4H6) has the structure: ``` H2C=CH-CH=CH2 ``` - Penta-1,4-diene (C5H8) has the structure: ``` H2C=CH-CH2-CH=CH2 ``` 2. **Analyze Conjugation and Resonance**: - Buta-1,3-diene has two double bonds that are conjugated. This means that the double bonds are separated by a single bond, allowing for resonance. - Penta-1,4-diene, however, has its double bonds separated by two single bonds, which does not allow for resonance between the double bonds. 3. **Draw Resonance Structures for Buta-1,3-diene**: - The resonance structures for buta-1,3-diene can be drawn by shifting the pi electrons: - Structure 1: ``` H2C=CH-CH=CH2 ``` - Structure 2: ``` H2C^(-)-CH^+=CH-CH2 ``` - Structure 3: ``` H2C-CH^+=CH^(-)-CH2 ``` - These structures show that the pi electrons are delocalized across the molecule, contributing to its stability. 4. **Stability Comparison**: - The presence of multiple resonance structures in buta-1,3-diene indicates that it has a delocalized electron cloud, which stabilizes the molecule. - Penta-1,4-diene lacks this resonance stabilization due to the absence of conjugation. 5. **Conclusion**: - **Statement I**: Buta-1,3-diene is less stable than penta-1,4-diene. This statement is **incorrect**. - **Statement II**: Buta-1,3-diene has a greater number of resonating structures and a delocalized electron cloud. This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: - Statement I is incorrect, and Statement II is correct.
