How many s bond orbitals are available for overlap with the vacant p orbital in the methyl cation? b. which is more stable: a methyl cation or an ethyl cation? why? problem 3 ♦ a. how many s bond orbitals are available for overlap with the vacant p orbital in 1. the isobutyl cation? 2. the n-butyl cation? 3. the sec-butyl cation? b. which of the carbocations in part a is most stable? problem 4 ♦ rank the following carbocations in each set from most stable to least stable:

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

the sample of water at is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

on comparing the two samples of water at or we can say that at and at respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

hence, one can say that the sample of water at is greater than the sample of water at by .
