Arrange the following in increasing order of stability
(A) (CH3)2C+−CH2CH3{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ + - C{H_2}C{H_3} (B) (CH3)3C+{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ +
(C) (CH3)2CH+{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop {CH}\limits^ +
(D) CH3−CH2+C{H_3} - {\mathop {CH}\limits^ + _2} (E) CH3+{\mathop {CH}\limits^ + _3}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
E<D<C<A<BE < D < C < A < B
Option B (E<D<C<A<BE < D < C < A < B) is correct because carbocation stability increases with the number of alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon due to hyperconjugation and inductive effects.
