MCQ
Among the given cations, the most stable carbonium ion is
  • A
    sec-butyl
  • ter-butyl
  • C
    n-butyl
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
ter-butyl

The higher the number of alkaline groups, the greater the charge is the deflection and hence the more carbonium ion is permanent.
