Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.42SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The decreasing order of stability of the given carbocations is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: An ion that possesses a positive charge on the carbon atom is termed as carbocation. These carbocations are also known as carbonium ions. Carbocations can be seen in the protonated
To determine: The decreasing order of stability of the given carbocations.

We'll see in the next chapter that the stability of carbocations depends on the number of alkyl substituents attached to the positively charged carbon - the more alkyl substituents there are, the more stable the cation. Which of the two carbocations in each pair is more stable? If they are of equal stablility, specify this.
Please explain carbocations and the increasing stability
Classify the carbocations as 1º, 2º, or 3º, and rank the carbocations in each group in order of increasing stability.
