karbokationiä
Karbokationiä, also known as carbocations, are positively charged, electrophilic intermediates in organic chemistry. They are formed by the removal of a nucleophile from a carbon atom, resulting in a carbon atom with a positive charge and three covalent bonds. Carbocations are highly reactive due to their positive charge and the presence of an empty p-orbital, making them excellent electrophiles.
The stability of carbocations is influenced by several factors, including the inductive effect, hyperconjugation, and resonance.
Carbocations are intermediates in various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic substitution, elimination, and rearrangement reactions. They
