Carbocation Stability

In this video, I explain the relative stability of carbocations and provide the three major explanations that result in this relative order. Additionally, I work through several questions that illustrate the importance of recognizing carbocation stability. Questions begin at 12:25 Ranking carbocation stability (varying substitution) 12:25 Ranking carbocation stability (varying substitution and resonance) 14:36 Ranking carbocation stability (varying substitution and resonance) 16:14 Applying carbocation stability to electrophilic addition reactions 18:07 Applying carbocation stability to electrophilic addition reactions 21:29 Resonance structures:    • How to Draw Resonance Structures
