MCQ
The correct stability order of carbocations is
  • A
    $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{C}^{+}>\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2>\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}>\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$
  • B
    $\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3>\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}>\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2>\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}}$
  • $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}}>\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}>\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2>\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$
  • D
    $\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3>\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2>\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}>\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right) \mathrm{C}^{+}\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}}>\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}>\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2>\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$
c
More no. of hyperconjugable Hydrogens, more stable is the carbocations.
