Chapter 7, Problem 69P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The most stable carbocation needs to be determined.

Concept introduction: Carbocations are intermediates form during a reaction and their stability depends on three main factors listed below:

  • The stability of carbocations increases with an increase in the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. (tertiary carbocation > secondary carbocation > primarycarbocation).
  • Presence of pi bonds which allow carbocation to take part in resonance which stabilizes the positive charge on carbocation.
  • Presence of electron donating group or atom with lone pairs.
