Question
CORRECT order of stability for the following is ${CH}_{2} = {CH}^{-},{CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2}^{-},CH \equiv C^{-}$
Options
A.${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2}^{-} > {CH}_{2} = {CH}^{-} > CH \equiv C^{-}$
B.${CH}_{2} = {CH}^{-} > CH \equiv C^{-} > {CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2}^{-}$
C.$CH \equiv C^{-} > {CH}_{2} = {CH}^{-} > {CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2}^{-}$
D.$CH \equiv C^{-} > {CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2}^{-} > {CH}_{2} = {CH}^{-}$
Solution
${CH}_{2} = C\overline{H}{CH}_{3} = C{\overline{H}}_{2}\ CH \equiv \overline{C}$
Stability $\propto \%\text{ }S$
Order of stability
$$CH \equiv \overline{C} > {CH}_{2} = C\overline{H} > {CH}_{3} - C{\overline{H}}_{2}$$
