Question
Pick up the correct statement regarding the following resonating structures of the anilinium ion
Pick up the correct statement regarding the following resonating structures of the anilinium ion
A.
Structure II is not acceptable because carbonium ions are less stable than ammonium ions
B.
II is not acceptable because it is nonaromatic
C.
II is not acceptable because here nitrogen has 10 valence electrons
D.
II is an acceptable canonical structure.
Answer :
II is not acceptable because here nitrogen has 10 valence electrons
Solution :
$$N$$ has no $$d$$ orbital, hence it can’t accommodate more than 8 electrons in its valence shell.
