in case of classical carbocations, their stability can be understood on the basis of common phenomenon like i effect M effect resonance etc. but for non classical carbocations these principles fail as for example

cyclopropyl methyl carbocation.

Classical carbocations ( carbenium ions) bear a positive charge on carbon and three bonds or six electrons.

In non-classical carbenium ions the positive charge does not remain on a single carbon atom but spreads over at least three atoms and those three atoms form a cyclic cation and are also known as bridged carbenium ions, beta phenyl ethyl carbocation is an example of non-classical carbocation.
