Question:
The correct order of stability of following carbocations is:
The correct order of stability of following carbocations is:
Show Hint
Resonance and hyperconjugation are key factors in determining the stability of carbocations; more resonance structures imply greater stability.

- C $>$ B $>$ A $>$ D
- A $>$ B $>$ C $>$ D
- B $>$ C $>$ A $>$ D
- C $>$ A $>$ B $>$ D
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Carbocation A is the most stable due to extensive resonance stabilization by three phenyl groups (trityl cation). B has resonance with two phenyl groups, making it less stable than A. C, the benzyl cation, has resonance stabilization by the aromatic ring, while D, a tertiary butyl cation, lacks resonance stabilization.
