Carbocation stability: Recap

The video helps us recall the various factors that help stabilise a carbocation. This helps us to compare the various substrates during an SN1 reaction 00:00- Need to talk about the stability of carbocations. 01:03- Comparing the rates of SN1 reaction for the given substrates.
