Vedclass · Answer

(B) The stability order of carbocations is $3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > 	ext{methyl}$.$(CH_3)_3C^{+}$ is a $3^{\circ}$ (tert-butyl) carbocation,$(CH_3)_2CH^{+}$ is a $2^{\circ}$ (sec-butyl) carbocation,and $CH_3CH_2^+$ is a $1^{\circ}$ (n-butyl) carbocation.Since the stability of carbocations increases with the number of alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon due to the inductive effect and hyperconjugation,the $3^{\circ}$ carbocation is the most stable.Therefore,the correct option is $(b)$.
