Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: (CH3)3C is more stable than CH3 as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in (CH3)3C

Statement II: CH3 is less stable than (CH3)3C as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in CH3

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:   [2026]

1 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
2 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
3 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
4 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  

Ans.

(4)

S-1:(CH3)3C+>C+H3 ; due to hyperconjugation interaction 

S-2 : False
