Goc Theory Part 8 Ques4
Question: Which of the following best describes hyperconjugation?
Options:
A) The interaction between pi bonds in conjugated systems
B) The interaction between a filled p or $ \pi $ orbital with an adjacent empty $ \sigma $ antibonding orbital
C) The transfer of electrons from one atom to another through space
D) The redistribution of electron density in aromatic compounds
Show Answer
Answer: b
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. This describes conjugation, not hyperconjugation.
B) Correct. Hyperconjugation involves the interaction between a filled p or $ \pi $ orbital with an adjacent empty $ \sigma $ antibonding orbital.
C) Incorrect. This is a general description of electron transfer, not specific to hyperconjugation.
D) Incorrect. This is more related to resonance in aromatic compounds.
