Solution
| No. | Carbocation | Carbanion |
| 1. | It is a species in which carbon carries a positive charge. | It is a species in which carbon carries a negative charge. |
| 2. | Positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized. | Negatively charged carbon is sp3/sp2 hybridized. |
| 3. | It is electron-deficient. | It is electron-rich |
| 4. | It has a planar geometry. | It has a tetrahedral geometry. |
| 5. | e.g. tert-Butyl carbocation, (CH3)3C+ | Methyl carbanion |
