Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The given carbocations are to be classified as 1°,2° or 3° and are to be arranged in order of increasing stability.

Concept introduction: An electron deficient carbon atom on which positive charge is present is known as carbocation. An electron deficient carbon atom bonded to one another carbon atom is termed as 1° carbocation. Whereas, an electron deficient carbon atom bonded to two and three carbon atoms is known as secondary and tertiary carbocation, respectively.
