Question

total no. of carbocation for C4H9+​

Answer 1

The total number of carbocations for C4H9+ is 4.

Explanation:

If a compound has the molecular formula C4H9 then there is the possibility of the formation of 4 alkyl groups.

1- The first alkyl group is

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-

2- The second alkyl group is

CH3-CH2-CH

                  |

                CH3

3- The third alkyl group is

CH3-CH-CH2-

          |

        CH3

4- The fourth alkyl group is  

        CH3

           |

 CH3 -C -  

           |

        CH3

Thus the total number of alkyl groups formed is 4 and the number of carbocations is 4.
