Identify the overlapping orbitals involved in hyperconjugation from following.

Options

  1. Aσ−p\sigma - p
  2. Bπ−π\pi - \pi
  3. Cσ−σ\sigma - \sigma
  4. Dp−pp - p

Correct answer

A. σ−p\sigma - p

Step-by-step solution

Hyperconjugation involves the delocalization of electrons by the overlapping of a filled σ\sigma orbital (usually of a C-H or C-C bond) with an adjacent empty or partially filled pp orbital or a π\pi orbital.

Because it most commonly involves the interaction between a σ\sigma bond and a pp orbital (such as in carbocations or free radicals), it is also known as σ−p\sigma - p conjugation.

Therefore, the overlapping orbitals involved in hyperconjugation are σ\sigma and pp.

Answer: σ−p\sigma - p
