Carbocations are species bearing a positive charge on carbon. They are intermediates generally formed during organic reactions, which can be stabilised by various electronic effects. Less stable carbocations are capable of undergoing rearrangements to form more stable carbocations in the course of a reaction.

Hydride shift or Methyl shift

In this example, you can observe that carbocation in C is a tertiary carbon with 6 hyperconjugative structures whereas in D carbocation is a secondary carbon with only 4 hyperconjugative structures. … Therefore, carbocation in C is more stable than in D. Hence compound C is the major intermediate. …

Rate of solvolysis of allyl and alkyl halides

Stability of the carbocation: The stability of a carbocation can be measured (or compared with others) with the help of their hydride ion affinity(HIA) values. … More is the HIA value lesser is that stability of the carbocation. …
