Q 1 :    

The correct stability order of carbocation is                         [2024]

  • (CH3)3C+>CH3-C+H2>(CH3)2C+H>C+H3

     

  • C+H3>(CH3)2C+H>CH3-C+H2>(CH3)3C+

     

  • (CH3)3C+>(CH3)2C+H>CH3-C+H2>C+H3

     

  • C+H3>CH3-C+H2>CH3-CHCH3|+>(CH3)3C+

     

(3)

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

 



Q 2 :    

A species having carbon with sextet of electrons and can act as electrophile is called                 [2024]

  • pentavalent carbon

     

  • carbon free radical

     

  • carbocation  

     

  • carbanion

     

(3)

Carbon can form maximum of four bond. There is nothing called pentavalent carbon.

 



Q 3 :    

Correct order of stability of carbanion is                          [2024]

  • d > a > c > b

     

  • d > c > b > a

     

  • a > b > c > d

     

  • c > b > d > a

Q 4 :    

The shape of carbocation is:                         [2024]

  • tetrahedral

     

  • trigonal planar

     

  • diagonal pyramidal

     

  • diagonal

Q 5 :    

Number of carbocation from the following that are not stabilized by hyperconjugation is……….                 [2024]



(5)

For hyperconjugation to occur in carbocations, carbon carrying positive charge should be connected to an sp3 hybridized carbon and that sp3 hybridized carbon should have at least one H atom (called as αH).
Out of given seven structures, hyperconjugation is possible only in the following two structures:
