Show hintHide hint
Think about how electrons can be shared between bonds.
Question 2.
What is a carbocation?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the definition of charge and valency.
3Question 3.
What is hyperconjugation?
Show hintHide hint
Remember how adjacent bonds affect stability in carbocations.
4Question 4.
True or False: More alkyl groups attached to a carbocation result in greater stability.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the number of neighboring interactions.
Question 5.
Predict the stability order of the following carbocations: CH3+, CH3CH2+, (CH3)2C+H, (CH3)3C+.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the number of alkyl groups influencing hyperconjugation.
Question 6.
Explain how hyperconjugation affects the outcome of a reaction when a reaction produces two possible carbocations from one reactant.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the stability difference influencing reaction paths.
