Question

The stabilizing electronic displacement known as hyperconjugation is historically referred to in organic chemistry literature by which of the following synonymous terms?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Hyperconjugation was originally invoked by J.W. Baker and W.S. Nathan to explain anomalous reaction rates, and thus is famously termed the Baker-Nathan effect. Because the canonical forms depict a completely broken C-H bond (despite the atoms not separating), it is also widely known as no-bond resonance.
