JEE Main 2025 Chemistry question
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.
Answer: (2)
