Vedclass · Answer

(A) The stability of carbocations is primarily determined by the number of $\alpha$-hydrogens available for hyperconjugation and the inductive effect.$(A)$ is a primary carbocation with $1$ $\alpha$-hydrogen.$(B)$ is a tertiary carbocation with $7$ $\alpha$-hydrogens ($3$ from the methyl group and $4$ from the ring).$(C)$ is a secondary carbocation with $3$ $\alpha$-hydrogens.$(D)$ is a secondary carbocation with $4$ $\alpha$-hydrogens.Comparing the number of $\alpha$-hydrogens and the degree of substitution, the stability order is $(B) > (D) > (C) > (A)$.

Label	Carbocation
$1$	$CH_3-CH^+-CH_3$
$2$	$CH_3^+$
$3$	$(CH_3)_3C^+$
$4$	$CH_3-CH_2^+$

The decreasing order of stability of the given carbocations is:
