Answers
Answer:
Carbonium ion, any member of a class of organic molecules with positive charges localized at a carbon atom. Certain carbonium ions can be prepared in such a way that they are stable enough for study; more frequently they are only short-lived forms (intermediates) occurring during chemical reactions.

Carbonium ions are, in fact, one of the most common classes of intermediates in organic reactions, and knowledge of the structures and properties of these substances is fundamental to understanding reactions in which they occur. Many of these reactions are of synthetic, biochemical, or industrial importance.
The first carbonium ions were observed in 1901; it was not until 21 years later, however, that German chemist Hans Meerwein concluded that a neutral product (isobornyl chloride) was formed from a neutral reactant (camphene hydrochloride) by rearrangement involving a carbonium ion intermediate. This was the first conceptualization of a carbonium ion as an intermediate in an organic rearrangement reaction. The idea was generalized by the American chemist Frank Clifford Whitmore from 1932 onward and placed on a firm experimental basis by the English chemists Sir Christopher Ingold and E.D. Hughes, beginning in the late 1920s. Although a great deal had been surmised about carbonium ions by indirect methods, it was only after 1960 that general methods for the formation of stable, long-lived carbonium ions became available.
Classification.
Two distinct classes of carbonium ions have come to be recognized. The first are the “classical” carbonium ions, which contain a trivalent carbon atom centre. The carbon atom is in an sp2 state of hybridization—that is, three electrons of the carbon atom occupy orbitals formed by the combination (hybridization) of three ordinary orbitals, one denoted s and two, p. All three orbitals lie in one plane; thus, the cationic centre of the molecule formed by bonding the carbon atom with three other atoms or groups tends to be planar. The parent for these ions is the methyl cation, with the formula CH+3 . Schematically, the structure is as shown below (the solid lines representing bonds between atoms):

Structural formula.
The second class of carbonium ions includes the pentacoordinated, or “nonclassical,” carbonium ions, which have three single bonds, each joining the carbon atom to one other atom, and a two-electron bond that connects three atoms, rather than the usual two, with a single electron pair. The parent structure for these ions is that of the methonium ion, CH+5 , in which the dotted lines represent a three-centre bond:
Structural formula.
It is frequently possible to distinguish between these two types of carbonium ions experimentally, as, for example, by the use of certain instrumental methods. These methods include nuclear magnetic-resonance spectroscopy, which gives information about atomic nuclei; infrared and Raman spectroscopy, which are based on light absorption; and, more recently, X-ray-induced electron-emission spectroscopy, which gives information about bond energies.
Preparation And Stability.
Several methods are known for the generation of carbonium ions. They may all, however, be classified in one of the following categories: (1) heterolytic (unsymmetrical) cleavage of the two-electron bond between a carbon atom and an attached group; (2) electron removal from a neutral organic compound; (3) addition of a proton, or other cation, to an unsaturated system; and (4) protonation, or alkylation (addition of an alkyl, or hydrocarbon, group), of a carbon–carbon or carbon–hydrogen single bond. Since carbonium ions are positively charged species, they are most readily formed in relatively polar solvents (solvents consisting of molecules with unsymmetrical distribution of electrons), which help disperse their charges or the charges on the accompanying negative ions throughout the medium. Commonly used solvents include methanol, aqueous acetone, acetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid.
The fate of a carbonium ion produced by one of these methods is determined essentially by two factors: (1) the nature of the medium in which the ion is generated and (2) the inherent stability of the ion itself. Carbonium ions react rapidly with the solvent or with any available substance attracted to positively charged entities. Therefore carbonium ions have only a fleeting existence, and indirect methods must be used for their study. The common methods are kinetics (measurements of rates of reaction), chemical analysis of the product formed by reaction of the carbonium ion (particularly, determination of spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule), and isotopic labelling (that is, the use of radioactive isotopes to identify particular atoms).
Explanation:
- Alkanes can be subjected to extremely potent acids to produce carbonium ions.
- In the industrial setting, they are created during initial thermal cracking during the refinement of petroleum (Haag-Dessau mechanism).
The principal techniques for producing carbonium ions include the following:
- The carbon atom and any connected functional groups are split apart heterolytically.
- An organic molecule that has lost its electron.
- Ionising or adding a positive charge to an unsaturated group.
- A proton and an alkylation.
Definition:
- Any organic molecule that belongs to a class with positive charges concentrated at the carbon atom.
- It is possible to create some carbonium ions that are stable enough for research, although most of the time they only exist in transient (intermediate) forms during chemical reactions.
