  3. Nitrobenzene
  4. Benzaldehyde

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is stabilized by +M effect?
  • Step 1: Understand what +M effect means. +M effect refers to the +Mesomeric effect, where a group donates electron density through resonance.
  • Step 2: Identify the compound in the question. The compound we are looking at is phenol.
  • Step 3: Look at the functional group in phenol, which is the -OH (hydroxyl) group.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the -OH group can donate electron density to the benzene ring through resonance.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because the -OH group donates electron density, phenol is stabilized by the +M effect.
