Question

what is hyperconjugation? Explain in brief.

Answer 1

it is the interaction of electrons in a sigma bond with an adjacent empty non bounding p orbital , anti bonding sigma or pi orbital or filled pi orbital to give an extend molecular orbital that increases the stability of the systm.

Answer 2

Hyperconjugation is the stabilising interaction that results from the interaction of the electrons in a σ-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbital or a π-orbital to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.
