one electrone is removed on carbon atom so vacant p orbital is present

yes one electron is removed from carbon atom and sharing two electrons is removed...as covalent bond is there

so empty p orbital and sextet of electrons

carbon has 4 electron in its valency shell. 3 hydrogens form covalent bonds with 3 electrons of carbon atoms so now carbon atom have only one electron and doesn't have completed octate. to complete octate it needed one epectron so it bear + charge

one electrone of carbon has incomplete octet i m confused in empty p orbital say for this electrone?

no, actually this unpaired electron is removed so it have + charge

p orbital is vacant

it have total 6 epectrons

over all one electrone removed so p orbital is vacant

we know that C atoms 1 in 2s, and 3 in 2px,2py and 2pz each. 2s and 2px, 2py used in hybridisation with 1s of H atom. remaining 1 electron in 2pz removed so it is vacant

When there is heterolytic bond cleavage occurs,the atoms attached with carbon having more electronegative than carbon attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself and carbocation formation takes place..so the two electrons which the carbon share with other atom goes towards more EN atom and there is sextet of electrons on carbon atom

In carbocation there is sextet of electron that is it contain six electrons so one of its p orbital is empty
