The carbon atom carrying positive charge and attached to three other atoms or groups is called:
Correct answer: A. Carbonium ion
- A. Carbonium ion
- B. Oxonium ion
- C. Carbon ion
- D. Carbonion
Explanation
The correct answer is A. Carbonium ion. This ion is a carbon atom carrying a positive charge and bonded to three other atoms or groups. The other options do not accurately describe this specific configuration of a positively charged carbon atom.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
