What is Hyperconjugation?
Hyperconjugation is the stabilizing interaction of the σ electrons (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent p-orbital (empty or partially filled or a” π” – orbital) .
Hyperconjugation is known as No bond Resonance or σ-bond” π” orbital resonance.

Hyperconjugation plays an important role in the stability of the following:
- Carbocations
- Free Radicals
- Alkenes
Hyperconjugation Effect in Carbocation:
Rules for Hyperconjugation in Carbocations:
- Positively charged carbon with empty p – orbital
- C-H sigma bond electrons
The C-H sigma electrons are dispersed or shifted towards the empty p- orbital. As a result of the dispersion(delocalization ) of electrons ,the positive charge on carbon get dispersed and a carbocation get stabilized.

Ethyl Carbocation- Example of Hyperconjugation:
In ethyl carbocation, the positively charged carbon has empty p-orbital (due to the electron deficiency ,carbocation is an electrophile).The sigma electrons are delocalizes between C-H and empty p-orbital .As a result of this interaction, the positive charge on carbon get dispersed and stabilized.

More Hyperconjugation = More stability of Carbocation
How you can calculate the stability of carbocation with hyperconjugation :
Calculating the total number of alpha hydrogen to find the stability of carbocation plays a vital role.
More no. of alpha hydrogen = More hyperconjugation = More stable carbocation
Carbon adjacent to the positively charged carbon is α carbon and all the hydrogen attached with this carbon are α hydrogens.

Stability order of carbocation:
More alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon = More Hyperconjugation = More stability
Methyl carbocation< Primary carbocation < secondary carbocation < tertiary carbocation

It would be better to mention all the rules.
Thanks for your valuable suggestion .Keep in touch & stay blessed .Regards
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot
about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message
home a little bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog.
A great read. I will definitely be back.
