Detailed Solution

  • In the carbanion CF3-CCl2, fluorine is more electronegative than Cl and hence, CF3 exhibits -I effect.
  • The negative charge, indicating the electrons residing in the empty d-orbital of Chlorine, which participate in resonance to substitute the -I effect of CF3 group, thus stabilizing the carbanion.
