The most stable carbocation is:A. `CH_(3)overset(+)CH_(2)`B. `overset(+)CH_(3)`C. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C+`D. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(+)CH` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Due to inductive effect and hyperconjugation effect of methyl groups, the order of stability of carbocation is `3^(@)R^(+) gt 2^(@)R^(+) gt 1^(@)R^(+) gt overset^(+)CH_(3)` `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)C`, being a `3^@` carbocations, is the most stable. |
