Figure 1 Shown Below Is the Structure of Caffeine in the Centre

Question 14

Multiple Choice

Figure 1
Shown below is the structure of caffeine in the centre and two different resonance states I and II with lone pairs and formal charges omitted. Figure 1 Shown below is the structure of caffeine in the centre and two different resonance states I and II with lone pairs and formal charges omitted.   -Referring to Figure 1,which of the following best describes the resonance states I and II? A) I is more stable than II because the formal negative charge is on a more electronegative atom. B) I is more stable than II because all the atoms follow the octet rule. C) II is more stable than I because the formal negative charge is on a more electronegative atom. D) II is more stable than I because all the atoms follow the octet rule.
