Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why `(CH₃)₃C⁺` (tertiary carbocation) is more stable than `CH₃CH₂⁺` (secondary carbocation), and why `CH₃⁺` (primary carbocation) is the least stable, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Explanation: 1. **Understanding Carbocation Stability**: - Carbocations are positively charged species that are electron-deficient. Their stability is influenced by the ability of surrounding groups to donate electron density to the positively charged carbon atom. 2. **Types of Carbocations**: ...
