- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Answer
(1) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Solution
Statement I:
As per NCERT, hyperconjugation is a general stabilising interaction that involves delocalisation of σ electrons of a C–H bond of an alkyl group attached to an unsaturated system or to an atom with an unshared p orbital. It is a permanent effect. Statement I is false.
Statement II:
More alkyl groups on the positively charged carbon more α C–H bonds more hyperconjugation structures greater stability.
(CH3)3 C > (CH3)2 CH > CH3 CH2 > CH3
Statement II is true.
