Q. Which of the following is the most stable carbanion?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022 Report Error

Solution:

Benzyl carbanion is stabilized by resonance.
Solution
electron-releasing groups (+I groups) make the carbanion less stable. Thus, a primary carbanion is more stable than secondary carbanion, which in turn, is more stable than a tertiary, because of +I effect associated with alkyl groups. Decreasing order of stabilities of carbanion is
Solution
Electron-attracting groups (-I groups) like $-NO_{2},-Br$ will stabilize carbanion by partial removal of the negative charge on the carbon.
