Hi all,
 
Please guide me precisely on how to see for the stability of carbocations, carboanions and free radicals??
 
i mean what's the main thing.. we have to see for telling which is the most stable??
 
 
Reallly need help in this matter!
Hope to see ur replies soon!

all the species are stable, if the charge appearing on them are well dispersed...
 
in case of carbocations, its the positive charge, if the positive charge is well stabilised, then the carbocation will be stable...
now +ve charge can be stablised, if some negative charge is around it.. just like any electron releasing group...this gives the stability of carbocations in the order primary < secondary < tertiary , since the alkyl groups are electron donating in nature, more the no of alkyl groups the more is it stabilised
for carbanions its just the same... here -ve charge is to be stabilised, so any electron attracting group around the atom , will stabilise the charge, hence making the species more stable... this gives the stability of carbanions in the order primary > secondary> tertiary , since the alkyl groups are electron donating in nature, so lesser the no of alkyl groups more is it stabilised
 
hopefully this helps

hi there...
As far i kno..the stability order goes lik this-
 
Atleast for resonatin structures
1) the one with more covalent bond
2) all elements shld 've octet configuration (in the compound)
3) uncharged species are more stable than charged species
4) -ve charge shld b on the most electro -ve species or element (n same for +ve)
5) in charged structures most separation for like charges n same for unlike
