Answer:

NO2 group is an electron-withdrawing group. Hence, it shows -I effect. By withdrawing the electrons toward it, the NO2 group decreases the negative charge on the compound, thereby stabilising it. On the other hand, ethyl group is an electron-releasing group. Hence, the ethyl group shows +I effect. This increases the negative charge on the compound, thereby destabilising it. Hence, O2NCH2CH2O- is expected to be more stable than CH3CH2O-.

Explanation:

Please type the question properly, I think it was supposed to be:
