Questions and Answers

What is the term used to describe the delocalisation of electrons of a bond?

  • Electromeric effect
  • Inductive effect
  • Resonance
  • Hyperconjugation (correct)
  • What type of orbitals do the electrons of a σ-bond typically interact with in hyperconjugation?

  • Anti-bonding π-orbital
  • Filled s-orbital
  • Empty non-bonding p-orbital or anti-bonding σ* or π*-orbitals (correct)
  • Filled non-bonding p-orbital
  • How does hyperconjugation differ from the electromeric effect?

  • Hyperconjugation occurs in alkanes, while the electromeric effect occurs in alkenes
  • Electromeric effect involves π-bonds, while hyperconjugation involves σ-bonds
  • Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect, while the electromeric effect is temporary (correct)
  • Electromeric effect results in the formation of a new compound, while hyperconjugation does not

    Bonding and Electron Delocalization

    • The term used to describe the delocalization of electrons of a bond is resonance.

    Hyperconjugation

    • In hyperconjugation, the electrons of a σ-bond typically interact with adjacent parallel p-orbitals.
    • Hyperconjugation differs from the electromeric effect in that it involves the delocalization of electrons in a σ-bond, whereas the electromeric effect involves the delocalization of electrons in a π-bond.
