∵ Cations are electron deficient species. ∴ Electron donating group increase their stability In C 6 H 5 C overset+H 2, the phenyl ( C 6 H 5) group behaves as electron rich group and donates electrons and stabilises the cation ( C 6 H 5. group can behave as electron rich or electron deficient group depending upon nature of group with which it is attached)
