AI Generated Solution

To understand why the carbocation `(CH₃)₃C⁺` is more stable than `(CD₃)₃C⁺`, despite the C-D bond being stronger than the C-H bond, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Carbocation Stability Carbocations are positively charged carbon species that are stabilized by surrounding groups through hyperconjugation and inductive effects. The more alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon, the more stable the carbocation. ### Step 2: Analyze the Structure of the Carbocations 1. **For `(CH₃)₃C⁺`:** - This carbocation has three methyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon. ...
