Electronic effects and Reactive Intermediates
I began revising the topic and can someone explain why cyclopropyl methyl carbocations are more stable than benzylic carbocations? There are no π-electrons in the cyclopropyl group to move towards the (+) charge on the methyl like in a phenyl group, so I don't get ir

Can someone explain this to me by drawing resonance structures for the cyclopropylmethyl carbocation please?

3 Factors That Stabilize Carbocations
Three main factors increase the stability of carbocations: Increasing the number of adjacent carbon atoms (methyl < primary < secondary < tertiary (most stable) Adjacent pi bonds that allow the carbocation p-orbital to be part of a conjugated pi-system system ("delocalization through resonance") Adjacent atoms with lone pairs More details below.
