The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the number of hyperconjugating structures shown by the carbocations, we will analyze each option provided and determine which one is not correctly matched. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hyperconjugation**: - Hyperconjugation involves the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbital or π-orbital. - The number of hyperconjugating structures is equal to the number of alpha hydrogens (hydrogens attached to the carbon adjacent to the positively charged carbon). 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1**: - Given: 9 alpha hydrogens. - Calculation: Since there are 9 alpha hydrogens, the number of hyperconjugating structures = 9. - Conclusion: This option is correctly matched. - **Option 2**: - Given: 6 alpha hydrogens but matched with 8 hyperconjugating structures. - Calculation: There are 6 alpha hydrogens, so the number of hyperconjugating structures should be 6, not 8. - Conclusion: This option is **not correctly matched**. - **Option 3**: - Given: 3 alpha hydrogens. - Calculation: Since there are 3 alpha hydrogens, the number of hyperconjugating structures = 3. - Conclusion: This option is correctly matched. - **Option 4**: - Given: 0 alpha hydrogens. - Calculation: Since there are no alpha hydrogens, the number of hyperconjugating structures = 0. - Conclusion: This option is correctly matched. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - The only option that is not correctly matched is **Option 2**, where it states there are 8 hyperconjugating structures instead of the correct 6. ### Answer: **Option 2 is not correctly matched.** ---
