Tertiary carbocations are stable due to +I effect of alkyl groups and hyperconjugation. Tertiary carbocation has greater number of alpha H in comparison to secondary carbocation. This increases hyperconjugation which results to its greater stability. Related Theory A carbocation will be destabilized by an electron withdrawing group.
