(a)
Interpretation: From the given two molecules (a) and (b). the more resonance stabilized structure should be identified.
The possibility of the resonance stabilized structure for the compound C should be checked.
Concept Introduction: Resonance is a method of describing or indicating the delocalization of pi electrons and lone pair of electrons in the molecule.
Resonance structure of a molecule can be defined as the structure of a molecule which has similar chemical connectivity but different electron distribution in the molecule.
Conditions for more stabilized resonance structure for the molecules.
The given organic molecule should have more than one canonical structure
If all the canonical structure has equal resonance energy, the structure is said to more resonance stabilized.
The molecule should have relatively more resonance structure than the other.
