    The most stable carbonium ion is :

    A) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}\]                            

    B) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,\]

    C) \[\overset{+}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}}}\,{{H}_{5}}\]                

    D) \[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}\]is maximum stable. The three \[-{{C}_{6}}H_{5}^{-}\]groups attached to the carbonium ion stabilises it is due to resonance. The order of stability is\[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,>{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}>{{\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]
