Question

which of the following represents the correct order of stability of the given carbocations ?

Answer 1

The III sturcture is aromatic since it follows (4n+2)π electron system hence it is most stable.

The II structure possess anti aromatic behaviour due to which it is very unstable whereas the I structure is resonance stabilized and also possess aromatic behaviour in the ring hence the order should be

III>I>II

Hope this helps,

Regards

Answer 2

Answer:

The order is III > I >II

Explanation:

II is not aromatic, so it is least stable. Out of III and I, III has the most number of resonating structures, so it is more stable.
