c.

검증된 단계별 안내

Analyze the structures of the two species provided. Both species contain an oxygen atom with a negative charge (-O⁻) attached to a carbon chain. The difference lies in the substitution pattern of the alkene group.

Consider the concept of alkene stability. Alkenes are stabilized by hyperconjugation and inductive effects from alkyl groups attached to the double bond. More substituted alkenes are generally more stable due to increased hyperconjugation.

Examine the first species (CH₃CHCH=CH₂). The double bond is monosubstituted, meaning it has only one alkyl group (CH₃) attached to the double bond. This results in lower stability compared to more substituted alkenes.

Examine the second species (CH₃C=CHCH₃). The double bond is disubstituted, meaning it has two alkyl groups (CH₃ and CH₃) attached to the double bond. This increases stability due to greater hyperconjugation and inductive effects.

Conclude that the second species (CH₃C=CHCH₃) is more stable than the first species (CH₃CHCH=CH₂) because the double bond in the second species is more substituted, leading to increased stabilization.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Stability of Chemical Species

The stability of chemical species refers to their tendency to maintain their structure and resist change. Factors influencing stability include the energy of the species, resonance structures, and steric hindrance. More stable species typically have lower energy and are less reactive, making them less likely to undergo chemical transformations.

Resonance Structures

Resonance structures are different ways of drawing the same molecule that illustrate the delocalization of electrons. A molecule with multiple resonance forms can distribute its electron density more evenly, leading to increased stability. The actual structure of the molecule is a hybrid of these forms, and the more resonance forms a species has, the more stable it generally is.

Steric Hindrance

Steric hindrance occurs when atoms within a molecule are forced into close proximity, leading to repulsive interactions that can destabilize the structure. Larger groups or substituents can create steric strain, making a molecule less stable. Understanding steric effects is crucial for predicting the stability of different species, especially in organic compounds.
