In (I), there are maximum number of Pi bonds. Therefore, it is
most stable, in (II) and (V), the number of pi bonds is equal but
charge separation is greater in (V). Therefore, (II) is more
stable than (V). In (III) and (IV), there is maximum charge
separation but (III) is highly unstable due to electrostatic
repulsion. order of stability is I > II > V > IV > III
