What is hyperconjugation? how does it help in explaining the stability of carbocation. |
|
Answer» In other words, the neighboring carbon pays the carbocation with electrons it STEALS from the hydrogens. The second, (and theoretically more SATISFACTORY explanation) is hyperconjugation, which INVOKES stabilization through DONATION of the electrons in C-H sigma bonds to the empty p orbital of the carbocation. |
