Question:
A carbocation is a group of atoms with a positively charged carbon atom having six electrons in the valence shell after sharing. Carbocations are formed in the heterolysis of a bond and are planar species. Stability of carbocation is determined by inductive effect, hyperconjugation and resonance effect. Greater the number of contributing structures more is the stability of a Carbocation. Electron releasing groups (+I effect) increases the stability of a carbocation whereas the electron withdrawing groups (I effect) have an opposite effect.
Which of the following is most stable carbocation?
A. CH3+
B. CH3CH+CH3
C . CH3CH2+
D. (CH3)3C+
