What is the relationship between the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged carbon atom and the hyperconjugation interaction?

Options

  1. AThere is no relationship.
  2. BThe greater the number of alkyl groups, the weaker the hyperconjugation interaction.
  3. CThe greater the number of alkyl groups, the greater the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the
  4. DThe hyperconjugation interaction is inversely proportional to the number of alkyl groups.

Correct answer

C. The greater the number of alkyl groups, the greater the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the

Step-by-step solution

The greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged carbon atom, the greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the cation.
