Chapter 6, Problem 6.49P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The differences for stability of two given carbocations that is $\text{2-}$ propenyl cation is more stable than $\text{1-}$ propyl cation have to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.

Carbocation stability order:

The general carbocation stability order is as follows,

Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes that molecule more stable.
