AI Generated Solution

To determine which cation is the most stable among the secondary butyl carbonium ion, tertiary butyl carbonium ion, and n-butyl carbonium ion, we can analyze the stability of each cation based on the concepts of hyperconjugation and inductive effects. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Cations**: - Secondary butyl carbonium ion (sec-butyl cation): This has the structure (CH3)2CH+. - Tertiary butyl carbonium ion (tert-butyl cation): This has the structure (CH3)3C+. - n-Butyl carbonium ion (n-butyl cation): This has the structure CH3(CH2)3C+. ...

Among the given cations, the most stable carbonium ion is?

sec-butyl

tert-butyl

r-butyl

None of these

Which of the following ions is most stable ?

`CH_3 CH_2 overset(+ )CH_2`

`CH_3 overset(+ )CHCH_2 CH_3`

`(CH_3)_3 C^(+)`

`(CH_3)_3 overset(+ ) C.CH_2`

The compound which gives the most stable carbonium ion on dehydration is

`CH_3 - underset(CH_3)underset(|) CH -CH_2 OH`

`CH_3 - underset(CH_3) underset(|) overset(CH_3) overset(|) C-OH`

`CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 OH`

`CH_3 - underset(OH) underset(|) CH - CH_2 -CH_3`
