The hyperconjugative stabilities of tert-butyl cation and but-2-ene, respectively are due to
A
(empty) and 
* electron delocalisations B
and 
electron delocalisations C
(filled) and 
electron delocalisations D
(filled) 
and 
(filled) electron delocalisations
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
tert-butyl cation
In tert-butyl cation, carbon bearing positive charge has one vacant 
-orbital hence hyperconjugation is between 
(empty) orbital.
In but-2-ene, hyperconjugation is between 
* bond.
