How many of the following compounds are resonance stabilised ?

(1) structure

(2) structure

(3) structure

(4) structure

(5) structure

(6) structure

(7) structure

(8) structure

(9) structure

(10) structure

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

(1) to (3) have a charge next to a C=C (allyl type). (4) has the C⁺ next to a conjugated diene. (6) has two conjugated C=C bonds. (7) phenol, (8) urea, (9) enamine and (10) oxocarbenium are all delocalised.

In (5) the two C=C bonds in each ring are separated by sp³ carbons, so (5) is the only one with no resonance.

Count = 10 - 1 = 9.
