Question

The higher stabilities of tert-butyl cation over isopropyl cation and trans- 2 - butene over propene, respectively, are due to orbital interactions involving, σ → π and σ → π *, σ → vacant p and σ → π, σ → σ * and σ → π, σ → vacant p and σ → π *

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Tert-butyl cation is more stable than isopropyl cation, because of better hyper conjugation between σ -vacant and p -orbital. whereas, trans- 2 -butene is more stable than propene because of hyper-conjugation σ - π * -orbitals.
