Question

Draw the possible resonance structures for CH3OCH2+ and predict which of the structures is more stable

Answer 1

The resonance contributors are given below.

Explanation:

• Resonance is the phenomenon which is seen in the compounds where electrons actually move between conjugated bonds and forms bond orders in fractions.

• Each of the provable structures of resonance are called the canonicals.

• Here the 2 canonical of methoxy methyl carbocation is given.

• The carbocation with positive charge in carbon is more stable because the oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon and positive charge on a more electronegative atom isn't favoured.
