Q. Which among the following is most stable carbocation

 1663  192 NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques Report Error

Solution:

Stability of carbonium ions.

tertiary alkyl > secondary alkyl > primary alkyl > methyl.

More the number of alkyl groups, the greater the dispersal of positive charge and therefore, more the stability of carbonium ion is observed.

Solution

Dispersal of positive charge increases with the increase in the number of benzene ring.
