Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason for the increase in relative reaction rate for the given compound is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
舧 Carbocation is a species that have positively charged carbon atom.
舧 The
舧 More the number of resonating structures, higher will be the stability of carbocation.
舧 The stability of carbocation increases in the order
舧 The rate of solvolysis of the given chlorides depends upon the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed.
舧 More the stability of carbocation intermediate, more is the rate of solvolysis.
舧 If electron-donating group is attached to carbocation it stabilizes it.
舧 If electron-withdrawing group is attached to carbocation it destabilizes it.
