Assertion: Tertiary carbocations are generally formed more easily than primary carbocations. Reason: Hyperconjugation as well as inductive effect due to additional alkyl groups stabilize tertiary carbocations.
A.Both assertion and Reason are true and the Reason✓ Correct
B.Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is
C.Assertion is true but Reason is false.
D.Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Explanation
Consider the examples, 3 3 3 CH | H C C Tertiary carbocation | CH 3 2 CH CH Primary carbocation So, hyperconjugation is more in tertiary carbonation due to more number of α H atoms and +I effect.
