AI Generated Solution

To arrange the given carbocations in increasing order of stability, we need to analyze the structures and count the number of alpha hydrogens (hydrogens attached to the carbons adjacent to the positively charged carbon). The more alpha hydrogens present, the more stable the carbocation due to hyperconjugation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures of the Carbocations:** - (i) `overset(o+)(C)H_(3)` - This is a primary carbocation with no alpha hydrogens. - (ii) `CH_(3)overset(o+)(C)H_(2)` - This is a secondary carbocation with 3 alpha hydrogens. - (iii) `CH_(3)overset(o+)(C)HCH_(3)` - This is a tertiary carbocation with 6 alpha hydrogens. ...
