Chapter 6.2, Problem 4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given set of carbo cations has to be ranked from most to least stable.

Concept introduction:

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

Leaving group: It is a fragment that leaves from a substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.

Carbocation stability order:

EBK ESSENTIAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 6.2, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  1

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

Nucleophile: Nucleophiles are electron rich compounds which donates electrons to electrophilic compounds which results in bond formation.

Nucleophilic nature depends on the negative charge present in the molecule, the solvent in which it present and the electronegativity of the atom.

Electrophile: Electrophiles are electron deficient compounds which accepts electrons from nucleophiles that results in bond formation.
