Consider the following carbocations
(1) CH3−⊕CH2 (2) CH2=⊕CH (3) CH2=CH−⊕CH2 (4) C6H5−⊕CH2 stability of these carbocations in decreasing order is
4>3>1>2
Benzyl carbocations (C6H5⊕CH2) is most stable due to more number of resonating structure.Allyl carbocations is stable due to resonance. Number of resonating structure in allyl are less than benzyl. Ethyl carbocation is more stable due to hyper conjugation vinyl carbocation is least stable as +ve charge is on sp hybridized carbon.
