Q.

The correct stability order of carbocation is                         [2024]

1 (CH3)3C+>CH3-C+H2>(CH3)2C+H>C+H3  
2 C+H3>(CH3)2C+H>CH3-C+H2>(CH3)3C+  
3 (CH3)3C+>(CH3)2C+H>CH3-C+H2>C+H3  
4 C+H3>CH3-C+H2>CH3-CHCH3|+>(CH3)3C+  

Ans.

(3)

Stability of carbocations follows the order: 3° > 2° > 1°. This is due to more hyperconjugation and +I stability in higher degree carbocations.
