NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
Imagine a diagram showing a carbocation represented as a central positively charged carbon atom attached to three alkyl groups. Which statement correctly describes the stability factors of this carbocation?
A
The carbocation is stabilized by inductive effects of surrounding alkyl groups.
B
The carbocation is destabilized due to the absence of alkyl groups.
C
The carbocation has trigonal pyramidal geometry due to sp3 hybridization.
D
The stability of the carbocation decreases with more alkyl groups attached.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Carbocations are stabilized by the inductive effects and hyperconjugation from alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon, which are key factors in their stability.
