Consider the following carbocation: (i) `Cl_(3)overset(+)C` (ii) `Cl_(2)overset(+)CH` , (iii) `Cloverset(+)CH_(2)` , (iv) `overset(+)CH_(3)`A. `(iv) lt (i) lt (ii) lt (iii)`B. `(i) lt (ii) lt (iii) lt (iv)`C. `(iv) lt (i) lt (iii) lt (ii)`D. `(iv) lt (iii) lt (ii) lt (i)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B The `Cl` atom destabilizes the carbocation by intensiying the positive charge on `C` atom through its negative inductive effect. Thus, stability increase with decrease in the number of `Cl` atoms. |
