    Which one of the following carbocation is most stable?

    A) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}\] 

    B)        \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}\]  

    D)         \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,HC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The order of stability of carbocation is \[{{\text{3}}^{o}}>{{2}^{o}}>{{1}^{o}}\] (a) \[\underset{({{1}^{o}})carbocation}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C-\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]                (b)\[\underset{({{3}^{o}})carbocation}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}}}\,\] (c) \[\underset{({{1}^{o}})carbocation}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]                (d) \[\underset{({{3}^{o}})carbocation}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,HC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[{{\text{3}}^{\text{o}}}\]carbocation i.e., \[{{\text{(C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}\text{)}}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}\]is the most stable carbocation.
