Question

What is Baker Nathan effect ? Explain it on the basis of orbital overlapping and reasonance​

Answer 1

Answer:

The delocalization of σ-electrons or lone pair of electrons into adjacent π-orbital or p-orbital is called hyperconjugation. It occurs due to overlapping of σ-bonding orbital or the orbital containing a lone pair with adjacent π-orbital or p-orbital. It is also known as "no bond resonance" or "Baker-Nathan effect".

Answer 2

In organic chemistry, the Baker–Nathan effect is observed with reaction rates for certain chemical reactions with certain substrates where the order in reactivity cannot be explained solely by an inductive effect of substituents. This effect was described in 1935 by John W. Baker and W. S. Nathan
