Question:medium

The correct stability order of carbocations is

Updated On: Jan 13, 2026
  • $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}^+ > \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 > (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}^+ > \text{CH}_3 \\$
  • Option 3
  • Option 2
  • Option 4
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Carbocation Stability Order: The following sequence represents the correct order of carbocation stability:

(CH3)3C+ > (CH3)2CH+ > CH3–CH2+ > CH3+.

This establishes the definitive stability ranking for the provided carbocations as:

(CH3)3C+ > (CH3)2CH+ > CH3–CH2+ > CH3+.
