Question

what is the most unstable resonating structure of phenol

Answer 1

EVERY STRUCTURE IS BALANCED EQUALLY BUT PARA IS MOST STABLE

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is the charge separation and positive charge on the oxygen atom,

Explanation:

Given - The most unstable resonating structure of phenol.

To find - what is the most unstable resonating structure of phenol.

Structures (I) and (V) are more stable than the others in the resonant structure of phenol, as illustrated below. Because of the charge separation and positive charge on the oxygen atom, structures (III), (IV), and (V) are less stable.br> The term 'order of stability means.
