Examine the following two structures for the anilinium ion and chose the correct statement from the ones given below.

Examine the following two structures for the anilinium ion and chose the correct statement from the ones given below.

  1. A

    II is not acceptable canonical structure because carbonium ions are less stable than ammonium ions

  2. B

    II is not an acceptable canonical structure because it is nonaromatic

  3. C

    II is not an acceptable canonical structure because nitrogen has l O valence electrons

  4. D

    II is an acceptable canonical structure

    Solution:

    II is not an acceptable canonical structure because nitrogen has 10 valence electrons.
    Since nitrogen has only four orbitals (one s and three p), it can accommodate a maximum of 8 valence electrons.
    Thus due to lack of d orbitals, nitrogen cannot have 10 valence electrons.

    N has 10 electrons around it.
