Per NCERT §8.7.1, the observed STABILITY order of carbocations from least to most stable is which?
AAll equally stable
B3° < 2° < 1° < Methyl
C1° < Methyl < 2° < 3°
DMethyl < 1° < 2° < 3°
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Methyl < 1° < 2° < 3°
NCERT §8.7.1: CH₃⁺ < CH₃CH₂⁺ < (CH₃)₂CH⁺ < (CH₃)₃C⁺. Alkyl groups donate electrons via induction and hyperconjugation.
