Identify the overlapping orbitals involved in hyperconjugation from following.

Options

  1. A- p
  2. B-
  3. C-
  4. Dp - p

Correct answer

A. - p

Step-by-step solution

Hyperconjugation involves the delocalization of electrons by the overlapping of a filled orbital (usually of a C-H or C-C bond) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p orbital or a orbital. Because it most commonly involves the interaction between a bond and a p orbital (such as in carbocations or free radicals), it is also known as - p conjugation. Therefore, the overlapping orbitals involved in hyperconjugation are and p . Answer: - p
