Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect.
Statement II : Hyperconjugation in ethyl cation
$\left( CH _{3}- \overset{+}{C}H _{2}\right)$ involves the overlapping of $C _{s p^{2}}- H _{1 s}$ bond with empty $2 p$ orbital of other carbon.
Choose the correct option:

• A. Both statement I and statement II are false
• B. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true
• C. Statement I is correct but statement II is false
• D. Both Statement I and statement II are true.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Statement I: It is correct statement
Statement II : $CH _{3}- \overset{\oplus}{CH _{2}}$ involve $C _{s p^{3}}- H _{1 s}$ bond with empty $2 p$ orbital hence given statement is false.
