Carbocations are planar species.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Carbocations:** - A carbocation is a positively charged carbon atom that has only six electrons in its valence shell, making it electron-deficient. 2. **Hybridization of Carbocations:** - Carbocations typically undergo sp² hybridization. This means that one s orbital and two p orbitals from the carbon atom mix to form three equivalent sp² hybrid orbitals. ...

Assertion : Carbocation are planar in nature. Reason : Carbocations are sp^(2) hybridised.

Reaction intermdiates are short lived species and are highly reactive. They are formed by heterolytic and homolytic bond fission. There are various types of reaction intermediates in which the most important are carbocation , carbanion and free radical. Carbocation is an organic species in which carbon have positive charge and six electrons in its outermost shell. The stability of carbocation can be increased by positive inductive effect, hyperconjugation and delocalisation. If alpha -atom with respect to carbocation has one or more lone pair of electron then lone pair of electron strongly stabilises the carbocation due to octet completion. Species in which carbon have negative charge is called carbanion. Carbanion carries three bond pairs and one lone pair. The stability of carbanion can be increased by negative inductive effect, negative mesomeric effect and delocalisation. Free radical is a species which have seven electrons in its outermost shell. The stability of free radical can be increased by hyperconjugation and delocalisation. The stability order of following carbocations is

How many more stable carbocations are possible after rearrangement in the following carbocation.

Stability of alkyl carbocations can be explained by

Whenever an intermediate carbocation is formed in reaction it may rearranges. Only those carbocation will rearrange which can produce more stable species . It can be done either by : (i) Shifting of H, alkyl , aryl, bond (1,2-shifting ) (ii) Ring expansion (iii) Ring contraction Most stable rearranged carbocation is is

A tertiary butyl carbocation is more stable than isopropyl carbocation. Justify.

Assertion: - 3^@ carbocations are more stable than 1^@ and 2^@ carbocations. Reason :- The+I effect of alkyl groups decreases the magnitude of positive charge to the maximum possible extent in a 3^@ carbocation
