Question

what is hyperconjuction? how does it help the electron releasing character of -CH3 in benzene​

Answer 1

Answer:

Usually, hyperconjugation involves the interaction of the electrons in a sigma (σ) orbital (e.g. C–H or C–C) with an adjacent unpopulated non-bonding p or antibonding σ* or π* orbitals to give a pair of extended molecular orbitals.
