Which of the following best define the term hyperconjugation?
Options
- ATransfer of H from a _ C - H bond to the system
- BParticipation of an H-atom on terminal carbon in the electron sharing
- CDelocalisation of electron density from a properly oriented -bond into -system
- DInteraction between a properly aligned lone electron pair with the empty -system
Correct answer
C. Delocalisation of electron density from a properly oriented -bond into -system
Step-by-step solution
Hyperconjugation involve delocalisation of -electrons with adjacent pi-system.
