The instability derives from the inability of that p orbital to overlap with the the sp2 orbitals of the carbon on the other end of the double bond. The bond angles of that carbon are too large (120*) and their highly electronegative nature prevent stabilization of the cationic center.
Which carbocation is highly unstable?
Primary carbocations are highly unstable and not often observed as reaction intermediates; methyl carbocations are even less stable.
Why methyl cation is unstable?
Of course, a methyl cation, in which a positive carbon is attached to three hydrogen atoms, is not very stable at all. The reasons for these differences are sometimes explained in terms of hyperconjugation. ... This effect lowers the amount of positive charge borne by an one carbon atom.
