Which is more stable carbocation or Carbanion?
Answers
Answer:
Yes carbocation is more stable. let's take for example the ter-butyl carbocation (Ch3)3-C+ this charged ion is highly stabilized due to the presence of the three donor methly groups that donate electrons, and hence largely stabilize the positive charge.
On the other hand the tert-butyl carbanion (CH3)3-C- would be less stabilized and more reactive than its positive catine since The negatively charged carbon atom in carbanion is sp3 hybridized.
Therefore, it has a tetrahedral structure.
Three of the four sp3 hybridized orbitals form 3s-bonds with hydrogen or carbon atom of the alkyl group.
The fourth sp3 hybrid orbital contains the lone pair of electrons.
This would cause to bring the reactivity to this ion and makes it act as a free radicals.
Hey Mate!!!!
Here is your answer ♣️
Answer:
As carbocations can undergo rearrangement very fastly , they are quite STABLE. Also they are sp² hybridized which causes them to be in a Planar form which causes more stability.
