Methyl group attached to a positively charged carbon atom stabilizes the carbocation due to
[Re-NEET 2024]
hyperconjugation
A methyl group adjacent to a carbocation donates electron density via hyperconjugation (overlap of σ–C–H orbitals with the vacant p orbital) and
+ Inductive effect. This stabilizes the positively charged center.
Consider the given statements and select the correct option (memory based jee mains shift-2 29/01/2025)
Statement-1: In partition chromatography, a thin film of liquid acts as stationary phase
Statement-2: Paper chromatography is not a type of partition chromatography
Statement-1 is correct, statement-2 is incorrect
Statement-1 is correct: In partition chromatography, the stationary phase is a thin film of liquid on a solid support.
Statement-2 is incorrect: Paper chromatography is a type of partition chromatography where water trapped in cellulose fibers acts as the stationary phase.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
The interaction between \(\pi\) bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom is responsible for
[JEE Main 2024, 29 Jan (Shift 1)]
Resonance effect
Correct Option: A – Resonance effect
Explanation:The resonance effect arises when there is a π bond (double bond) and a lone pair of electrons on an adjacent atom. This allows delocalization of electrons through overlapping p-orbitals, creating multiple contributing structures (resonating structures) for a molecule.
Example:In phenol, the lone pair on oxygen interacts with the π electrons of the benzene ring, resulting in resonance.
So, the interaction between a π bond and a lone pair on an adjacent atom is characteristic of the resonance effect.
