It is very commonly thought that the sciences and humanities are producing two cultures which are opposed to each other. Science is even accused of not being sympathetic to the well-being of society. All this is due to the debatable use made by some scientists of their discoveries. However, science has now become increasingly aware of its responsibility towards society. Consequently, many scientists are of the opinion that science should be defined in humanistic terms. According, I.I. Rabi defines science as follows : "Science is an adventure of the whole human race to learn to live in and perhaps to love the universe in which they are. To be a part of it is to understand it, to understand oneself, to begin to feel that there is a capacity within man far beyond that he felt he had, of an infinite extension of human possibilities - not just on the material side..." Rabi proposes that science be taught “with a certain historical understanding, with a certain philosophical understanding, with a social understanding and a human understanding". At the moment, we are dealing with physics and one might well ask if we can define physics also in humanistic terms. Gerald Halton provides us with a relevant definition of physics. According to him : "Physics is a sequence of related ideas whose pursuit provides one with the cumulative effect of an even higher vantage point and a more encompassing view of the working of nature. Physics is neither an isolated bloodless body of facts and theories with mere vocational usefulness, nor a glorious entertainment restricted to an elite of specalists. Rather students of physics may leave them unprepared for their own time. They can be neither participants nor even intelligent spectators in one of the great adventures”. It will be no exaggeration if we say that the fate of society is linked to physics as whatever is thought or discovered in physics immediately affects the society. Our intellegence lies in applying physics to solve the pressing problems that the society faces and not to annihilate it. According to I.I Rabi

Hyperconjugation describes the orbital interactions between the p-systems and the adjacent s-bond of the substituent group(s) in organic compounds. Hyperconjugation is also called as Baker and Nathen effect. The necessary and sufficient condition for the hyperconjugation are : i) Compound should have at least on sp2 hybrid carbon of either alkene, carbocation or alkyl free radical. ii) A-carbon with respect to sp2 hybrid carbon should have at least one hydrogen. Hyperconjugation are of three types: (i) s(C-H), p-conjugation. (iii) s(C-H), positive charge conjugation iv) s(C-H), odd electron conjugation The hyperconjugation may be represented as Number of resonating structures due to hyperconjugation = (n + 1) where n is the number of a-hydrogen. Greater is the number of such forms, more is the stability of the species under considersation. Stability of saturated alkyl carbocations can be explained by
