Aniline is more stable than anilinium io...

Aniline is more stable than anilinium ion because

A

it has more resonating structures than anilinium ion

B

it has less resonating structures than anilinium ion

C

it has more `pi`-bonding than anilinium ion

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Aniline is resonance hybrid of five resonating structures and anilinium ion is obtained by accepting a proton and have only two resonating structures. Greater the number of resonating structures, greater is the stability.
