    Amongst the given cations, the most stable carbonium ion is

    A)  \[^{+}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     In case of alkyl carbonium ions, as the number of R group decreases the stability also decreases. Thus, the correct order of carbocation stability is \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,H>C{{H}_{3}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}>\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}.\]
