Draw the possible resonance structures for and predict which of the structures is more stable. Give reason for your answer.

Question

Answer the questions  on the basis of information given below:

“Stability of carbocations depends upon the electron releasing inductive effect of groups adjacent to positively charged carbon atom involvement of neighbouring groups in hyperconjugation and resonance.”

Draw the possible resonance structures for

and predict which of the structures is more stable. Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Structure II is more stable because every atom has complete octet.
