To understand hyperconjugation effect, let us take an example of (ethyl cation) in which the positively charged carbon atom has an empty p orbital. One of the C-H bonds
of the methyl group can align in the plane of this empty p orbital and the electrons constituting the C-H bond in plane with this p orbital can then be delocalised into the
empty p orbital.
This type of overlap stabilises the carbocation because electron density from the adjacent σ bond helps in dispersing the
positive charge.
Hyperconjugation is also possible in alkenes and alkylarenes. Delocalisation of electrons by hyperconjugation in the case of alkene as shown in the video.
There are various ways of looking at the hyperconjugative effect. One of the way is to regard C—H bond as possessing partial ionic character due to resonance.
