Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given isomeric carbocations are to be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary and the most stable carbocation is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Carbocations are the reaction intermediates and they contain the electron deficient positively charged carbon atom. The electron deficient carbon is sp2 hybridized. A carbocation has the tendency to rearrange itself to become a more stable carbocation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given isomeric carbocations are to be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary and the most stable carbocation is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Carbocations are the reaction intermediates and they contain the electron deficient positively charged carbon atom. The electron deficient carbon is sp2 hybridized. A carbocation has the tendency to rearrange itself to become a more stable carbocation.
