Compare the stabilities of the following intermediates : underset((a))

1.	Compare the stabilities of the following intermediates : underset((a))(CH_(3)-O-overset(+) (CH_(2))) underset((b))(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(+)(CH_(2))
Answer» SOLUTION :`(a) gt (B)` . This is because structure is RESONANCE STABILIZED .
