Question

Which of these carbocations is most stable? 1 2 3 4 5 reactions run in polar solvents have further rates than S_n1 reactions run in nonpolar sol statements provides the best explanation for the difference in rates? Polar solvents stabilizes the transition state in the rate-determining step. Nonpolar solvents stabilize the transition state in the rate-determining step. Polar solvents stabilize the carbocation intermediate. Nonpolar solvents stabilize the carbocation intermediate. The reaction mechanism is different in polar solvents than in nonpolar solvents. Which of the following compounds is the product of the reaction shown that displays rate configuration compared to the starting material?

Explanation / Answer

5)
stability order of carbocation is:
tertiary carbocation > secondary carbocation > primary carbocation

3 and 5 are tertiary carbocation

5 is more stable than 3 as it is further stabilised by double bond resonance
