Q. The correct order of stability of carbocations, is:

JIPMERJIPMER 2004Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

More the +I alkyl groups on electron deficient carbon, more stable will be the cabocation. Hence, $3^{\circ}$ carbocations are more stable. The correct order is $3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > \overset{+}{C}H _{3}$
