Question

What are carboncation ,carbonanion and free radicals compare them on the basis of their structure and stability ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carboncation :

Structure - Carbon atom has positive charge and three bonds

Stability - Stabilized by neighbouring carbon-carbon multiple bonds

Carbanion :

Structure - Carbon is a trivalent bearing negative charge.

Stability - Greater the s character of the charge bearing atom, the more stable the anion.

Free radicals :

Structure - They contain an unpaired electron.

Stability - They are stabilised by resonance.
