Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the stability of the carbocations `(CH₃)₃C⁺` (tert-butyl cation) and `CH₃CH₂⁺` (ethyl cation), we can analyze the structure and the effects of the substituents on the positive charge. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - The structure of `(CH₃)₃C⁺` consists of a central carbon atom bonded to three methyl groups and carries a positive charge. - The structure of `CH₃CH₂⁺` consists of a carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one methyl group, with the positive charge on the terminal carbon. ...
