What is the correct order of stability of the given cations: CH3CHCHCH3 H3C OH 3-methyl-2-butanol 3 2 1 GENERAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
A.III > II > IV > I✓ Correct
B.I > II > III > IV
C.III > I > II > IV
D.IV > II > III > I
Explanation
Electron releasing group will increase the stability of carbocation and electron withdrawing will decrease the stability of carbocation. M is stronger than Hyperconjugation and +I combined. So, correct stability order is III>II>IV>I.
