Question

Which of the following structures contributes the most to the resonance hybrid of the cation C H 3 ​ O − CH = CH − C H 2 + ​ ? (A) (B) (C) (D) All contribute equally

TestHub · Accepted Answer

(C) has an octet on every atom, with the + on the oxygen that donates its lone pair, so it is the most stable contributor. (A) and (B) have a carbocation with only six electrons.
