The stability of carbanions in the following
is in the order of
-
(1) > (2) > (3) > (4)
-
(2) > (3) > (4) > (1)
-
(4) > (2) > (3) > (1)
-
(1) > (3) > (2) ) (4)
A.
(1) > (2) > (3) > (4)
When s character increases, then electrons becomes more closer to the nucleus and structure is of lower energy and is more stable.
The stability order of carbanions is as:
