A carbocation is an ion having a carbon atom which is positively charged, while carbanion is an ion having a carbon atom which is negatively charged. The carbon atom of carbocation having a positive charge is sp2 hybridized, whereas carbon atom of carbanion having a negative charge is sp3 hybridized. The geometry of carbon atom in carbocation is trigonal planar; on the other hand, the geometry of carbon atom in carbanion is pyramidal. The magnetic properties of carbocation are paramagnetic; on the contrary, the magnetic properties of carbanion are diamagnetic. In various chemical reactions the carbocation acts as an electrophile; conversely, in many chemical reactions the carbanion acts as a nucleophile. A carbocation is more stabilized than carbanion due to the presence of three donor methyl groups which donate electrons and therefore greatly stabilize the positive charge.
Explanation:
➡A species in which carbon atom having +ve charge.
➡It is an electron deficient species.
➡It has planar geometry.
➡It is an electrophile.
➡A species in which carbon atom having -ve charge.
➡It is electron rich species.
➡ It has tetrahydral geometry.
➡It is an nucleophile.
