karbokationu
Karbokationu, also known as carbocation, is a positively charged carbon-centered ion. Its general formula is R3C+ or within reaction mechanisms as R2CR+H, where the carbon has an electron deficiency. The carbon atom in a carbocation is typically sp2-hybridized and bears an empty p orbital, giving a planar, often trigonal arrangement around the cationic center.
Stability of karbokationu depends on several factors. Tertiary carbocations (formed from three alkyl substituents) are usually
Karbokationu are highly reactive intermediates in organic reactions. They commonly arise by heterolytic bond cleavage in
In summary, karbokationu are fundamental yet transient species in organic chemistry, whose stability and reactivity shape
