The correct Answer is:
To determine which species does not show hyperconjugation, we need to analyze each option based on the presence of alpha hydrogen atoms adjacent to a positively charged carbon atom. Hyperconjugation involves the delocalization of sigma electrons from C-H bonds to an empty or partially filled p-orbital of an adjacent carbon atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hyperconjugation**: - Hyperconjugation occurs when there are alpha hydrogen atoms adjacent to a positively charged carbon atom. The sigma electrons from the C-H bond can delocalize into the empty p-orbital of the positively charged carbon. 2. **Analyzing Option 1: CH3C^+H2**: - The structure has a positively charged carbon (C^+) with three alpha hydrogen atoms on the adjacent carbon (CH3). - Since there are alpha hydrogens, hyperconjugation is possible. 3. **Analyzing Option 2: CH3C^+CH3**: - The positively charged carbon (C^+) is adjacent to another carbon (C) that has no hydrogen atoms attached to it. - Since there are no alpha hydrogen atoms, hyperconjugation is not possible. This is a strong candidate for the answer. 4. **Analyzing Option 3: CH3CH2C^+H2**: - The positively charged carbon (C^+) has two alpha hydrogen atoms on the adjacent carbon (CH2). - Since there are alpha hydrogens, hyperconjugation is possible. 5. **Analyzing Option 4: CH3C^+HCH3**: - The positively charged carbon (C^+) is adjacent to two carbons, both of which have hydrogen atoms. - There are three alpha hydrogen atoms available for delocalization, so hyperconjugation is possible. 6. **Conclusion**: - The only species that does not show hyperconjugation is **Option 2: CH3C^+CH3** because it lacks alpha hydrogen atoms. ### Final Answer: **Option 2: CH3C^+CH3 does not show hyperconjugation.**
