Identify the most stable species in the following set of ions giving reasons : (i) `overset(+)(C)H_(3), overset(+)(C)H_(2)Br, overset(+)(C)HBr_(2), overset(+)(C)Br_(2)` (ii) `overset(Θ)(C)H_(3), overset(Θ)(C)H_(2)Cl, overset(Θ)(C)HCl_(2),overset(Θ)(C) Cl_(3)` |

Answer» (i) `overset(C)H_(3)` is the most stable species because the -I-effect of Br intensifies the +ve charge and hence destability the species. Further, more the number of Br atoms, less stable is the species. Thus, the stability of the species decreases in the order : `overset(+)(C)H_(3) gt overset(+)(C)H_(2)Br gt overset(+)(C)HBr_(2) gt overset(+)(C)Br_(3)` (ii) -I effect of the Cl atom disperses the -ve charge and thus stabilizes the species. Further, more the number of Cl atoms, more is the dispersal of the -ve charge and hence more stable is the species. Thus, `.^(-)C Cl_(3)` is the most stable species. The stability of other species decreases in the order `.^(-)CHCl_(2) gt .^(-)CH_(2)Cl gt .^(-)CH_(3)`. |
