Alkene `A(Me_2 C = CMe_2)` is more stable than alkene `B(Et_2 C = Cet_2)`.
Baker-Nathan effect.

A

If both (A) and ( R) are true and ( R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and ( R) are true but ( R) is not correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is true but ( R) is false.

D

If (A) is false but ( R) if true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) Both `(A)` and `( R)` are correct and `( R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`. Hyperconjugation is also called Baker-Nathan effect. In `(A)`, there are `12 alpha-H` atoms, whereas `B` has only `8 alpha-H` atoms.
