Carbonyl group has following resonating structures (I) The correct order of stablity of these structures isA. `(i) gt (ii) gt (iii)`B. `(iii) gt (i) gt (ii)`C. `(i) gt (iii) gt (ii)`D. `(iii) gt (ii) gt (i)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The resonating structure with minimum or no charge is more stable. Thus, the stability of structure (i) is maximum. As the negative charge is present on more electronegative oxygen atom {as in structure (iii)}. (iii) is more stable than structure (ii).
