Answer :

Carbocation -

The organic species containing positively charged Carbon atom bearing 6 electrons in itd valence shell are known as carbocation.

It is of three types - Primary carbocation, secondary carbocation and tertiary carbocation.

The stability of carbocation can be explained either by inductive effect or by hyperconjugation

i.e., \boxed{3^{\circ}>2^\circ>1^\circ}

Characteristic of Carbocation -

1. In carbocation, carbocationic carbon are sp^2 hybridised containing an empty p-orbital so it's geometry will be trigonal planar.

2. It is formed by heterolysis.

3. In carbocation, octet of Carbon atom are incomplete so it behaves as an electrophile.

4. In this, all the six electrons are paired so it is dimagnetic in nature.

Heya mate
The answer of ur question is

Carbocation is an ion with a positively charged carbon atom .

For ex - CH⁺ ₃( Methenium )
C ₂H⁺ ₃ ( Vinyl cation )

♢ In Carbocation, A molecule consist of carbon atom which bears three bonds .
♢ Carbocation molecules are sp2 Hybridised
☆☆ Carbocations are generally unstable because they do not have eight electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

hope it helps
