Examine the following two structures for the aniline ion and choose the correct statement from the ones given below

Answer»

II is not an ACCEPTABLE canonical structure because carbonium ions are less stable than ammonium ions
II is not an acceptable canonical structure because it is non-aromatic
II is not an acceptable canonical structure because the NITROGEN has ten valence electrons
II is an acceptable canonical structure.

Solution :STATEMENT A is correct. (Carbonium ions are less stable than ammonium ions).
Statement C is correct (due to absence of `d-`subsehell in valence shell of N, it cannot accommodate 10 electrons in its valence shell).
Statement B is incorrect many canocial structures are non aromatic).
Statement D is incorrect (canonical structure II is not acceptable)
