Question
Chapter 4.16A, Problem 4.28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The explanation for the high stability of triphenylmethyl cation is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The delocalization of lone pair or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance. The stability of compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. More the resonating structures of compound more would be its stability.
To determine: The explanation for the high stability of triphenylmethyl cation.
