Answer:
The three factors that determine carbocation stability are adjacent (1) multiple bonds; (2) lone pairs; and (3) carbon atoms. An adjacent π bond allows the positive charge to be delocalized by resonance. ... Resonance delocalization of the charge through a larger π cloud makes the cation more stable.

Carbocations Are Stabilized By Neighboring Carbon-Carbon Multiple Bonds. Carbocations adjacent to another carbon-carbon double or triple bond have special stability because overlap between the empty p orbital of the carbocation with the p orbitals of the π bond allows for charge to be shared between multiple atoms.
