Answer 1

Answer:

Hello mate

Explanation:

Carbocation and carbanion refer to organic chemical species bearing an electrical charge on a carbon atom. The main difference between carbocation and carbanion is that carbocation contains a carbon atom bearing a positive charge whereas carbanion contains a carbon atom bearing a negative charge.

Amongst primary (1°) secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°) carbanions, 1° is the most stable. In 3° carbanion due to the presence of three alkyl groups with +I effect, a negative charge is intensified on the carbon atoms and the carbanion gets destabilised. So this is the least stable carbanion.
