Consider the following carbocation:
(i) `Cl_(3)overset(+)C`
(ii) `Cl_(2)overset(+)CH` , (iii) `Cloverset(+)CH_(2)` , (iv) `overset(+)CH_(3)`The stability order is

A

`(iv)lt(i)lt(ii)lt(iii)`

B

`(i)lt(ii)lt(iii)lt(iv)`

C

`(iv)lt(i)lt(iii)lt(iii)`

D

`(iv)lt(iii)lt(ii)lt(i)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Cl due to its -I effect, further intensifies the + ve charge and this stabilizes the cations. As the number of Cl atoms increases, the stability further decreases.
