Step 1: Hyperconjugation Basics
- Statement I: Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect that stabilizes carbocations, radicals, and alkenes. (True)
- Statement II: In the ethyl cation (), stabilization occurs via the overlap of the filled  -orbital () with the adjacent empty  orbital of the cationic carbon (). The statement mentions  bond, which is incorrect (it's  for the methyl group). Thus, Statement II is false.
