Answers (1)

best_answer

Hyperconjugation is the delocalization of electrons with the participation of bonds of primarily σ-character. Also it can be said that hyperconjugation is the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (usually C–H or C–C) with an adjacent empty (or partially filled) non-bonding p-orbital, antibonding σ or π orbital, or filled π orbital, to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.
