The geometry of carbocation is trigonal planar.
- Carbocation orbitals are usually sp2 hybridised, resulting in a trigonal planar geometry around the carbon nucleus with three complete orbitals.
- The final p orbital is unoccupied and ready to accept two electrons from another atom.
- An ion having a positively charged carbon atom is known as a carbocation. The methenium, methanium, and vinyl cations are among the most basic examples.
- The substituents of the carbocation are all in the same plane, with a bond angle of 120 degrees between them.
- The carbocation's carbon atom is electron-poor, having just six valence electrons available to make three-sigma covalent bonds with the substituents.
- The vacant p orbital of the carbocation carbon is perpendicular to the plane generated by the substituents.
- Carbocations are excellent Lewis acids because the p orbital may easily receive electron pairs during reactions.
- An electrophilic(withdrawing) group will destabilise a carbocation.
