Question

Which of the following statements is not correct?

Options

• Carbocation posses sextet of electrons.

• The order of carbocation stability is `\overset{+}{"C"}"H"_3 > ("CH"_3)_2\overset{+}{"C"}"H" > ("CH"_3)_3\overset{+}"C"`.

• Carbocations have a trigonal planar shape.

• Carbocations are formed by heterolytic cleavage.

Answer 1

The order of carbocation stability is `bb(\overset{+}{"C"}"H"_3 > ("CH"_3)_2\overset{+}{"C"}"H" > ("CH"_3)_3\overset{+}"C")`.
