    The correct order of stability of following carbocation is (I)                       (II) (III)                        (IV) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    A)  \[(III)>(II)>(I)>(IV)\]

    B)  \[(II)>(III)>(I)>(IV)\]

    C)  \[(I)>(II)>(III)>(IV)\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Aromatic or aryl ring provides more stable carbonium ion, while aliphatic alkyi groups provides less stability due to +1 effect of alkyl group. Generally stability of carbonium ion decreases in the following order. Triphenyl methyl carbonium > diphenyl methyl carbonium > benzyl carbonium > allyl carbonium > tertiary carbonium > secondary carbonium > primary carbonium >                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     ethyl carbonium.
