I don't think that species will even exist without rearranging into something else.

its not about existense just stability terms

+M for ring that too
Nimboi
Nimboi4w ago
if C is wrong, is it because OCH3's -I effect outweighs its +M at ortho (since distance in ortho is less) i've only seen such a thing happen in halogens okay oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine so that may be the case
SirLancelotDuLac
But we also have a CH3 attached to it so wouldn't that make it difficult to compare?
Nimboi
Nimboi4w ago
my original answer was C but apparently D is correct ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wait difficult to compare in the sense? -OCH3 is a group on its own
SirLancelotDuLac
Like whether the net effect would be withdrawing or not as in case of halo

this is like comparing apples and oranges

According to this -OH would be the most electron withdrawing.

Shouldnt that be the case only with halogens though

C hona chahiye 💔

In this case the positive charge is on benzene carbon itself, maybe something to do with it
Dexter
Dexter4w ago
OHHHH YEAHH The benzene carbon ka p orbital is out of the plane no resonance there 😭🙏 so inductive se hi answer hoga
_zbro
_zbro4w ago
I don't get that? No hybridisation?
Dexter
Dexter4w ago
sp² hai na carbon to ek p orbital is still left
_zbro
_zbro4w ago
Oh I see
Dexter
Dexter4w ago
that p orbital is perpendicular to the sp2 plane @Phalawor

I don't get it Wait a few hours bro I got my eyes dilated can't see anything clear

isnt -oh the most ewg making it B
Nimboi
Nimboi4w ago
ahhh oke thank u dexter bhai
Dexter

Ring ke plane mein resonance act nahi krta the +ve charge stability will be determined by inductive effect only
burrito
burrito4w ago
yea prob coz och3's -i effect wait isnt it because of incomparable size? like F and C are comparable so their resonance is more evident unlike Cl
Dexter
Dexter4w ago
no whenever +ve charge is in the plane of the ring resonance doesn't act on that the electrons are delocalised in the plane perpendicular to the ring
burrito
burrito4w ago
oh wait sorry i read it wrong i thought u were talkin about cl but what i said is correct i think resonance is more evident with flourine
Dexter
Dexter4w ago
yeah thats true
flower
flowerOP4w ago
achcha haa sp2 hai na ye to got it got it so we cant use M effect so inductive is ony choice and Inductive to only Rgroup ka +I is most stonks
cauchyschwartz
tell me if im wrong but c mein conjugation hai toh lp of Oxygen delocalise ho jayenge and uspe fir delta postive aa jayega and positive on electronegative is unstable toh c rule out ho gya @Phalawor
flower
flowerOP4w ago
but idhar to carbocation ka poocha hai you cant just go into uska resonance structure na youve gotta look at the OG thing and then judge it thats what ive built
cauchyschwartz
hmmm then what is the reason can u send the og question please
flower
flowerOP4w ago
idk i dont go into resonance structure stability of a given structure
cauchyschwartz
mene kuch galti krdi i didnt understand the question mereko lga overall ki batani hai
flower
flowerOP4w ago
it was Carbocation stability the structures are too big for one photo
cauchyschwartz
haan got it
flower
flowerOP4w ago
yea 4 were there these 2 were doubtful
flower
flowerOP4w ago
yea man my major doubt was just that how do we compare R and I groups C has R and D had I got it tho thanks
cauchyschwartz
+I ka theres an order na vahi show krenge +I the ones u mug up basically
flower
flowerOP3w ago
ayo why is this still open +solved @Dexter @SirLancelotDuLac @cauchyschwartz
