Question

Why stability of methyl carbanion more than ethyl carbanion?

Answer 1

The stability of a carbanion also depends on the nature of hybridized orbitals used by the negatively charge carbon atom.A more electronegative carbon atom accomodates a negative charge in a betterways and electronegativity of the C atom depends on the nature of hybridization its uses.the primary carbanions more stable.

Answer 2

Hi friend

No it is not correct stability of ethyl carbocation is more than methyl carbocation due to inductive effect of CH3 in ethyl carbocation.
