Choose the correct statement regarding the formation of carbocations

Question:

Choose the correct statement regarding the formation of carbocations A and $\mathrm{B}$ given :-

  1. Carbocation B is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate

  2.  Carbocation A is more stable and formed relatively at slow rate

  3. Carbocation B is more stable and formed relatively at slow rate

  4. Carbocation $\mathrm{A}$ is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

This is more stable due to secondary cation formation and formed with faster rate due to low activation energy.
