Ans: CH3(+) and CH3(-) in between two of them CH3 (+) is more stable because the presence of +ve charge is going to stabilize with the help of electron in between C and H that is basically dense toward Carbon because Carbon is more electronegative than Hydrogen . Where in CH3 (-) the charge density is going to increase on Carbon and that is not good. Thanks & Regards Akshay Meena, askIITians Faculty M.Tech, IIT Kharagpur
