Concept introduction:
Relative stabilities of carbocations are explained by hyperconjugation. In the case of primary carbocations like
Answer to Problem D.1P
The orbital interaction that represents hyperconjugation in
The hyperconjugation leads to greater stabilization for the
Explanation of Solution
In
Also, in
The orbital interactions for both
The F atom is more electronegative than H, therefore the
The cation in which hyperconjugation would leads to greater stabilization is determined on the basis of orbital interactions shown above.
