The ethyl cation has 3 C-H sigma bonds that can be involved in hyperconjugation
Ex. The t- butyl cation has 9 C-H sigma bonds that can be involved in hyperconjugation. Hence( CH3)3C+ is more stable than CH3CH2+ The effect is not limited to C-H sigma bonds, appropriate C-C sigma bonds can also be involved in hyperconjugation.
