| Assertion: Tertiary carbonium ions are generally formed more easily than primary carbonium ions. |
| Reason: Hyperconjugative as well as inductive effect due to additional alkyl groups stabilize tertiary carbonium ions. |
| Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: |
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. [a] An alkyl group attached to the positively charged carbon of a carbonium ion tends to release electrons towards that carbon; thus the positive charges gets dispersed as the alkyl group becomes somewhat positively charged itself. More the number of alkyl groups, the greater is the dispersal of positive charge and therefore more easily it will be formed.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
