MCQ
Hyperconjugation involves delocalisation of ___________.
  • A
    Electrons of carbon-hydrogen σ bond of an alkyl group directly attached to an atom of unsaturated system.
  • B
    Electrons of carbon-hydrogen σ bond of alkyl group directly attached to the positively charged carbon atom.
  • C
    $\pi$-Electrons of carbon-carbon bond.
  • D
    Lone pair of electrons.

Answer

  1. Electrons of carbon-hydrogen σ bond of an alkyl group directly attached to an atom of unsaturated system.
  2. Electrons of carbon-hydrogen σ bond of alkyl group directly attached to the positively charged carbon atom.

Explanation:

Hyperconjugation, also known as sigma-pi conjugation, is the delocalization of sigma electrons. Presence of -H with respect to double bond, triple bond or carbon containing positive charge (in carbonium ion) or unpaired electron (in free radical) is a condition required for hyperconjugation.
