Electrophilic additions reactions proceed in two steps. The first step involves the additions of an electrophile. Name the type of intermediate formed in the first step of the following addition reaction `H_(3)C - HC = CH_(2) + H^(+) rarr`?

Options

A. `2^(@)` carbanion
B. `1^(@)` carbocation
C. `2^(@)` carbocation
D. `1^(@)` carbanion

Answer

C

Explanation

When electrophile attacks `CH_(3) - CH = CH_(2)` delocalisation of electrons can take place, in two possible ways

As `2^(@)` carbocatio is more stable than `1^(@)` carbocation thus first addition is more feasible .
