Question

carbocation write its characteristics
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Talking about some general characteristics, the carbon cations are very reactive and unstable due to an incomplete octet. In simple words, carbocations do not have eight electrons, therefore they do not satisfy the octet rule. In carbocation, the hybridization of carbon will be sp2 and its shape is trigonal planar.

Answer 2

Answer ⤵⤵

Carbocations are carbon atoms in an organic molecule bearing a positive formal charge. Therefore they are carbon cations. Carbocations have only six electrons in their valence shell making them electron deficient. Thus, they are unstable electrophiles and will react very quickly with nucleophiles to form new bonds.
