Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Hyperconjugation is not a permanent effect.
Statement II: In general, greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged C-atom, greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the cation.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Understanding Hyperconjugation
Hyperconjugation (no-bond resonance) involves the delocalization of -electrons of  bond of an alkyl group directly attached to an atom of unsaturated system or to an atom with an unshared -orbital. It is a permanent effect.

Step 2: Evaluating Statements
- Statement I: "Hyperconjugation is a temporary effect." (False - It is permanent).
- Statement II: "The more the number of alkyl groups attached to a carbocation, the greater is the stabilization." (True -
