Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect. Statement II : Hyperconjugation in ethyl cation involves the overlapping of bond with empty orbital of other carbon.
Choose the correct option :
Option: 1 Both statement I and statement II are false
Option: 2 Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true
Option: 3 Statement I is correct but statement II is false
Option: 4 Both Statement I and statement II are true.
Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect.
In the ethyl cation, hyperconjugation involves overlapping of orbital with vacant p-orbital of the carbocation.
Thus, statement I is true while statement II is false.
Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
