Question

Due to its sextet (having six electrons), the carbonium ions are:
  1. unstable
  2. very stable
  3. negatively charged
  4. all of these

A
negatively charged
B
very stable
C
unstable
D
all of these
Solution
Verified by Toppr

As carbon is having 6 electrons and in the outer shell, it is having only 4 electrons so it requires 4 more electrons to complete its octet. so when it occurs in carbonium ion form it is sp2 hybridized atom and sp2 hybridization with a +ve charge on it make it a very unstable atom.
