Relative stabilities of the following carbocations will be in the order
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The dispersal of the charge stabilises the carbocation. More the number of alkyl groups; the greater is the dispersal of positive charge and therefore, more the stability of carbocation, thus 
is the least stable carbocation 
is a strong an electron-donating group, thus, it will increase the stability of carbocation, hence, the correct order of stability is 
.
