Is stability of hydrate directly proportional to number of electron withdrawing groups?
Dear Student,
By nature the complex are hydrated sufficient for ensuring stability in lowering of the energy required during dissociation, the hydrated compounds energy (del H) is lowered than conventional complex molecules. In our case a carbonyl compounds are given and let water present in it which results in formation of equilibrium between carbonyl compound and gem-diol and the equilibrium can be shifted from one side to the another.
In resonance structure of carbonyl C=O bond (highly polarised) leads to positive terminus of carbon end, when more C=O are present together results in destabilisation which can be prevented by hydrated form for ensuring the stabilisation of the molecule.
Hence the correct answer is Option (C)
Regards.
