Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
Increasing order of stability of carbocations -
CH3• < CH3CH2• < (CH3)2CH• < (CH3)3C•

● Explanation -
- As you may know stability of carbocations follows following trend -
methyl < 1° < 2° < 3°

Given carbocations -
(CH​3)3C• => 3° carbocation
(CH3)2CH• => 2° carbocation
CH3CH2• => 1° carbocation
CH3• => methyl carbocation

Therefore, increasing order of stability of carbocations -
CH3•(methyl) < CH3CH2•(1°) < (CH3)2CH•(2°) < (CH3)3C•(3°)

Hope this solved your queries.
