1.Inductive effect
It is a permanent effect that arises when some electron releasing or withdrawing group is attached to
chain of alkane.
Example:- C-C-C-C-C1-X
• If X is electronegative, it will attract the shared pair electrons more towards itself. As a result, X will
acquire partial negative charge and C1 will acquire partial positive charge.
•Now this positive charge of C1 will attract electrons of C1 – C2 As a result, some of the positive charge
on C1 will be reduced and on C2 it will develop.
•This effect happens only till 4thcarbon as after 4th carbon the magnitude of charge is almost nil.
•So, we can define it as “the displacement of electrons along the saturated carbon chain due to
presence of polar covalent bond at the end of the chain. “
TYPES OF INDUCTIVE EFFECT
It is of two types
•-I effect
•+I effect
-I effect –It is shown when electron withdrawing group is attached to the carbon chain.
It occurs due to delocalisation of π electron cloud so as to get best structure as compared to other structure.
But, it was seen that Bond Length of that CO bond is not same as that of C=O. It lies in between C-C and C O.
Example:
HYPER CONJUGATION
It is like resonance but the difference is that there is no bond present from where the electrons are shifted.
The Condition required: It arises when = and – bond is at adjacent position.
Example: –:
•“More the terminal Hydrogen , more is the Hyper-conjugated structure.”
•We can define it as interaction between π electrons and adjacent bond of substituent group attached to it.
•It is also called as Baker Nathan and non-bond resonance.
•It can explain stability of Alkylated alkenes.
