Definition :-A positively charged ion whose charge resides at least in part, on a carbon atom or group of carbon atom" :)
it has only six electrons in its outer valence shell instead of the eight valence electrons that ensures maximum stability....
example :- methyl cation ch3+
A carbocation is formed when a alkane or a alkyl group containing molecule undergoes through a SN1 reaction.
yes. it will
Stabilization of a carbocation can also be accomplished by reasonance. If the cationic carbon is adjacent to an unsaturated system, the positive charge can be delocalized over adjacent atoms resulting in greater stability of the carbocation. Thus, the carbocations showing resonance are far more stable than those in which the resonance is not flesible.
carbocation is formed as an intermediate so rearrangement is possible
No, in general
Allyl Carbocation.
A carbocation refers to a positively charged ion of the carbon atom. A test for carbocation helps in determining its stability.
Methyl carbocation (CH3+) is isoelectronic with borane (BH3).
It is a QUATERNARY carbocation, but very unreactive towards nucleophilic attacks.
A carbocation is formed when a alkane or a alkyl group containing molecule undergoes through a SN1 reaction.
due to hypercongugation
yes. it will
Yes, the organization of carbocation does take place in a Lucas test. Tertiary carbocations are the most stable; while primary carbocations are the most reactive.
An alkanium ion is a carbocation obained by hydrogenation of an alkane.
Stabilization of a carbocation can also be accomplished by reasonance. If the cationic carbon is adjacent to an unsaturated system, the positive charge can be delocalized over adjacent atoms resulting in greater stability of the carbocation. Thus, the carbocations showing resonance are far more stable than those in which the resonance is not flesible.
none because it creates a carbocation
carbocation is formed as an intermediate so rearrangement is possible
