A tertiary butyl carbocation is more stable than a secondary butyl carbocation because of which of the following?

Options

  1. A+ R effect of – CH 3 groups
  2. B– R effect of – CH 3 groups
  3. CHyperconjugation
  4. D– I effect of – CH 3 groups

Correct answer

C. Hyperconjugation

Step-by-step solution

The stability of given carbocations can be explained based on the hyperconjugation effect. The more the number of alpha hydrogen, the more is the stability of carbocations.
