Stability of alkyl carbocations can be explained by
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:
Inductive effect (+I): Alkyl groups donate electron density and help stabilize the positive charge.
Hyperconjugation: Delocalization of electron density from adjacent C–H bonds stabilizes the carbocation.
Resonance: Delocalization of the positive charge increases stability (wherever applicable).
Electromeric effect: It is temporary and occurs only in the presence of a reagent, so it does not explain carbocation stability.
