    The stability order of carbonium ion is

    A)  \[3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >C{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[3{}^\circ <2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ <C{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[3{}^\circ <2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >C{{H}_{3}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The stability of carbonium ion increases on increasing\[+I\]effect. Hence, \[^{\oplus }C{{H}_{3}}<C{{H}_{3}}CH_{2}^{\oplus }<C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}^{\oplus }}}}\,<C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}^{\oplus }}}}}\,\] methyl cation\[<1{}^\circ <2{}^\circ <3{}^\circ \]
