Out of benzyl and ethyl carbocation which is more stable?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which carbocation is more stable between benzyl and ethyl, we can analyze their structures and the factors that influence their stability. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures of the Carbocations**: - **Benzyl Carbocation**: The structure can be represented as \( C_6H_5CH_2^+ \). It consists of a benzene ring (C6H5) attached to a carbon atom (CH2) that carries a positive charge. - **Ethyl Carbocation**: The structure can be represented as \( C_2H_5^+ \) or \( CH_3CH_2^+ \). It consists of two carbon atoms (C2H5) with a positive charge on the terminal carbon. ...
