Given two compounds, a benzene molecule with carbocation at one of its constituting carbon atoms and an ethyne carbocation. Now according to me even though ethyne carbocation is pretty unstable due to the sp hybridized carbon, but if a charge is placed on a carbon in the benzene ring, too much strain is caused on the ring which destabilizes it more. I believe that the stability of the ring is a more dominating factor when carbocations are involved, but the answer was in favour of the ethyne carbocation.

12absanchit: its not of this question
Muskan8532: so
12absanchit: lol
Muskan8532: shut up
12absanchit: u give incorrect answer
12absanchit: and den tell me to shut up!

Stability order is as follows:

Ethane carbocation>ethene carbocation>ethyne carbocation

Reason: due to hyperconjugation

Pls feel free to ask more doubts,


khareshiyaa: Who said
12absanchit: the order is stabilty in answer is given as 4th option> 3> 2 >1
khareshiyaa: I am saying that only
12absanchit: so why ethyne is more stable than ethane?
khareshiyaa: You have to look for more no. Of alfa H
12absanchit: ethane has 3 h alpha..so it shud be more stable!!
khareshiyaa: Tats what i am saying
khareshiyaa: I thing u are interpreting wromg bro
khareshiyaa: I have written it in decreasing order of stability
khareshiyaa: I hope u have understood now
