Aniline is considered more stable:
- Aniline is more stable than Anilinium because it is known that the number of the canonical structures are present, the more the stability of the compound.
- Secondly, the Anilinium ion has a positively charged ion.
- There it is more readily available for reacting in order to lose a proton which is not the case in Aniline.
- Moreover, the presence of the lone pair in the Aniline makes it a contender for obtaining a proton from other molecules which why it is a weaker base.
- All these things signify that Aniline is more basic and stable than Anilinium.
