Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: $\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}\overset{\oplus}{C}$ is more stable than $\overset{\oplus}{C}H_{3}$ as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}\overset{\oplus}{C}$.

Statement II: $\overset{\oplus}{C}H_{3}$ is less stable than $\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}\overset{\oplus}{C}$ as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\overset{\oplus}{C}H_{3}$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options

A.Statement I is true but Statement II is false
B.Both Statement I and Statement II are true
C.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
D.Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

S-1: $\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}C^{+} > \overset{+}{C}H_{3}$; due to hyperconjugation interaction

S-2 : False
