Question

2.

**Question:**

Which diene below is most stable (draw your choice)? Explain your choice.

**Diagrams:**

The image displays three chemical structures representing different dienes.

1. **First Structure (Left):** This is a linear, conjugated diene with alternating single and double bonds across a carbon chain. The chain appears to be acyclic.

2. **Second Structure (Middle):** This is a cyclic, conjugated diene, resembling a benzene ring with one double bond exterior to the ring structure.

3. **Third Structure (Right):** This is another linear diene, similar to the first structure, with alternating single and double bonds but appearing more extended or differently positioned.

**Explanation:**

You are requested to identify which diene is the most stable and provide reasoning for your choice. Stability in dienes can often be assessed by considering factors such as conjugation, cyclic nature, and resonance stability.
