Compare the resonance energies of $C H_{3} C O O H$ and $C H_{3} C O O N a$ .

Open in App

Solution

Resonance energy of $C H_{3} C O O H$ is more compared to $C H_{3} C O O N a$ because the $O - H$ bond is covalent and $O - N a$ bond is ionic.
In IMAGE $01$ resonance hybrid is IMAGE $02$ .
But in $C H_{3} C O O N a$ as shown in IMAGE $03$
the resonance of $C H_{3} C O O N a$ the negative charge is more accumulated on oxygen. Hence, less resonance stablization.
$C H_{3} C O O N a$ has only carbonyl carbon resonance but $C H_{3} C O O H$ has carboxylic acid resonance.
