Question

The interaction between π bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom is responsible for:

Options
  1. a

    Hyperconjugation

  2. b

    Inductive effect

  3. c

    Electromeric effect

  4. d

    Resonance effect

Correct Answerd

Resonance effect

Detailed Solution

Step 1: Defining Resonance Effect The resonance effect (or mesomeric effect) refers to the interaction between a π\pi bond and a lone pair of electrons or between two π\pi bonds in a conjugated system.

Step 2: Analyzing the Statement This effect leads to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule, often stabilizing the species.
