Question
Write the correct stability order for the following carbocations.
$(\text{CH}_3)_3\stackrel{+ }{\text{CCH}}_2,(\text{CH}_3)_3\stackrel{+}{\text{C}},\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\stackrel{+ \ \ \ \ }{\text{CH}}_2$

Answer

The order of stability of carbocation is 3° > 2° >1°.
$(\text{CH}_3)_3\stackrel{+}{\text{C}}>(\text{CH}_3)_3\stackrel{+ }{\text{CCH}}_2>\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\stackrel{+ \ \ \ \ }{\text{CH}}_2$
3° carbocation, i.e.$(\text{CH}_3)_3\stackrel{+}{\text{C}}$ is the most stable carbocation.
