Identify the overlapping orbitals involved in hyperconjugation from following.
Options
- A- p
- B-
- C-
- 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
