    The correct order  of stability  of carbocations, is:

    A)  \[1{}^\circ <2{}^\circ <3{}^\circ <\overset{+}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]

    B)  \[\overset{+}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,<1{}^\circ <2{}^\circ <3{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[3{}^\circ <2{}^\circ <1{}^\circ <\overset{+}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]

    D)  \[2{}^\circ <3{}^\circ <1{}^\circ <\overset{+}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    More the +I alkyl groups on electron deficient carbon, more stable will be the cabocation. Hence, \[3{}^\circ \]carbocations are more stable. The correct order is: \[3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >\overset{+}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
