    Hyperconjugation describes the orbital interactions between the pi -system and the adjacent sigma -bond of the substituent group(s) in organic compounds. Hyperconjugation is called as Baker and Nathan effect. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the hyperconjugation are: (i) Compound should have at least one sp^(2) -hybrid carbon of either alkene, carbocation or alkyl free radical. (ii) alpha -carbon with respect to sp^(2) -hybrid carbon should have at least one hydrogen. Hyperconjugation are of three types: (i) sigma(C-H),pi -conjugation, (ii) sigma(C-H), positive charge conjugation, (iii) sigma(C-H) , odd electron conjugation. The hyperconjugation may be represented as, Number of resonating structures due to hyperconjugation =(n+1) , where n is the numebr of alpha -hydrogen. Greater is the number of such forms, more is the stability of the species under consideration. Which of the following carbocations will show highest number of hyperconjugative forms?

In Down's syndrome, the affected individual is short statured with "_______" round head and partiallyopen mouth.

    William Harvey (1578–1657) was one of the early biologists who studied the bodies of humans and animals. He even dissected the bodies and did experiments with the heart and blood vessels. He concluded from his experiments that the blood leaves the heart through the arteries and returns via the veins. However, he could not explain how blood left the arteries to enter the veins. He said there must be some structure between arteries and veins but he could not find them. Marcello Malphigi (1628–1694) later discovered these structures while studying a dead frog's lungs under a microscope. Which of the following structures did Malphigi find in the frog?
