  1. A 3,7
  2. B 4,6
  3. C 2,7
  4. D 5, 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2,7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

No bond resonance (hyperconjugation) depends on number of \(\alpha-\mathrm{H}\). \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2\) But-1-ene contains \(\alpha\)-H. Therefore, it gives 2 no bond resonating structures. \(3^{\circ}\) carbocation has \(7 \alpha-\mathrm{H}\).…
