    Which of the following species is least stable?

    A)  \[P-{{O}_{2}}N-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}{{-}^{+}}C{{H}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}{{-}^{+}}C{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[P-Cl-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}{{-}^{+}}C{{H}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[P-C{{H}_{3}}O-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}{{-}^{+}}C{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[P-N{{O}_{2}}-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}-\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}\] is the least stable carbocation among these because electron withdrawing\[-N{{O}_{2}}\]group destabilizes the carbocation.
