3 Factors That Stabilize Carbocations
Three main factors increase the stability of carbocations: Increasing the number of adjacent carbon atoms (methyl < primary < secondary < tertiary  (most stable) Adjacent pi bonds that allow the carbocation p-orbital to be part of a conjugated pi-system system ("delocalization through resonance") Adjacent atoms with lone pairs More details below.

Hey, you're asking about question seven, right? So generally, what difference would it make if you have a hydrogen versus a deuterium versus a tritium? Is it the inductive effect or the hyperconjugation effect? Which one, which one would get affected?

It's hyperconjugation that gets affected.

Hyperconjugation would be stronger

Think of it this way. Is it easier for a C-H bond to break or a C-D bond?

C-H because of size order of H,D,T is T>D>H

So the greater ease of hyperconjugation is in which system?
1 =Sin^2x + Cos^2x
1 =Sin^2x + Cos^2xOP6mo ago
C-H? @Opt ?
Opt
Opt6mo ago
Yup, that should be it.
