Carbocation is a group of atoms that contains a carbon atom bearing positive charge and has only six electrons on its valence shell

Carbanion is a group of atoms that contains a carbon atom bearing negative charge

In carbocation the carbon bearing the positive charge is

Any species attains stability when it has _____ number of electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon has _____________________ electrons in its valence shell.

The following species has the lowest number of electrons in the valence shell

In excited state a carbon atom gets its one of the 2s electrons to

Carbocations are species in which central carbon carries positive charge. If the charge on the carbocations gets cocentrated or lo-calized the carbocation becomes unstable. The two factors which account for stability of carbocations are inductive effect and hyper conjugation (no bond resonance). Inductive effect is minor factor and hyper conjugation is major factor. Hybridisation of carbon in carbocation is

Palmitic acid contains - number of carbon atoms
