Consider the following carbocations
I `overset(+)underset((CH_(3))_(3)C CH_(2)`
II `(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+)`
III `{:(" " +),(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)):}`
IV `{:(" " +),(CH_(3)-CH-CH_(3)):}`
The correct order for the stability of the above carbocations is

A

`IgtIIIgtIVgtII`

B

`IIIgtIVgtIgtII`

C

`IVgtIIIgtIIgtI`

D

`IIgtIVgtIIIgtI`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Larger the number of `alpha` H-atom linked to a carbocation more will be the stable carbocation hence, the correct order of stability is
`I lt III lt IV lt II`
