Rank the transition states that occur during the following reaction steps in order of increasing stability (least `rarr` stable)
1. `H_(3)C-overset(+)(O)H_(2) rarr CH_(3)^(+)+H_(2)O`
2. `(CH_(3))_(3)C-overset(+)(O)H_(2) rarr (CH_(3))_(3) C^(+) +H_(2)O`
3. `(CH_(3))_(2) CH- overset(+)(O)H_(2) rarr (CH_(3))_(2)CH^(+) +H_(2)O`

A

`1 lt 2 lt 3`

B

`2 lt 3 lt 1`

C

`1 lt 3 lt 2`

D

`2 lt 1 lt 3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
