Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why less stable carbocations tend to rearrange to more stable carbocations while carbanions and free radicals do not, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Carbocations, Carbanions, and Free Radicals**: - **Carbocations** are positively charged carbon species (e.g., CH3^+). - **Carbanions** are negatively charged carbon species (e.g., CH2^-). - **Free Radicals** are neutral species with an unpaired electron (e.g., CH2•). ...
