Select the most stable carboncation from...

Select the most stable carboncation from the following:
`CH_(3)^(+),(CH_(3))_(2)CH^(+),CH_(3)CH_(2)^(+),(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electron releasing groups having `+I` effect stabilize the carbocations by partical neutralisation of the positive charge on carbon. A tertiary carbocation is more stable than a secondary and primary carbocation because of `+I` effect which is maximum in tertiary carbocation. Thus, `(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+)` is most stable.
