Question

What is hyperconjugation ? With it's help explain which of the following free radicals is more stable. Ch3ch2,(the)ch,(ch3)3c,ch3

Answer 1

(CH3)3C+ i.e 3° carbocation is more stable carbocation than 1° carbocation i.e CH3+ or CH3CH2+ because 3° carbocation has more hyper conjunction effect i.e it has 9 alpha hydrogen which is more stable but CH3+ has 0 aplha hydrogen thats why it is least stable carbocation and CH3CH2+ has 3 alpha hydrogen it is also less stable than 3° carbocation.

More will be the hyper conjunction effect more will be the stable carbocation.

I hope it will help u...
