Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Hyperconjugation is not a permanent effect.
Statement II : In general, greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged C -atom, greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the cation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
  1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

Hyper conjugation is permanent effect because external reagent is not required, so Statement-I is false and Statement-II is true. because moore alkyl group, more $\alpha-H$, so more hyperconjugation which results more stability of carbocation.
