    Which one of the following carbocation is most stable?

    A)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}\]

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

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,HC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The order of stability of carbocation is\[{{3}^{o}}>{{2}^{o}}>{{1}^{o}}\] [a] \[\underset{\text{(}{{1}^{o}}\text{) }carbocation}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C-\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] [b] \[\underset{\text{(}{{3}^{o}}\text{) }carbocation}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}}}\,\] [c] \[\underset{\text{(}{{1}^{o}}\text{) }carbocation}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] [d] \[\underset{\text{(}{{2}^{o}}\text{) }carbocation}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,HC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[{{3}^{o}}\] carbocation i.e., \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}\] is the most stable carbocation.
