Correct answer: C
-
Analyze Statement I: Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect.
Hyperconjugation is the delocalization of electrons of a -bond (usually -C–H or C–C bond) into an adjacent empty -orbital, partially filled -orbital, or -orbital.
Since this electron delocalization exists in the ground state of the molecule whenever the required orbital arrangement is present, hyperconjugation is classified as a permanent effect (like inductive effect), not a temporary effect like electromeric effect.
Therefore, Statement I is true.
-
Analyze Statement II: Hyperconjugation in ethyl cation involves the overlapping of bond with empty orbital of other carbon.
In the ethyl cation:
- The positively charged carbon is hybridized and has an empty unhybridized orbital.
- Hyperconjugation occurs from the adjacent bond of the methyl carbon into this empty orbital.
The donating bond is a bond formed by overlap of:
- carbon orbital on the methyl carbon, which is hybridized,
- hydrogen orbital.
So the bond involved is , not .
Hence, Statement II is false.
-
Conclusion:
- Statement I: True
- Statement II: False
Therefore, the correct option is:
-
Comparison with stored answer:
Stored correct answer = C
My derived answer = C
So, they agree.
