From Carey.
explain that circled line.
C-C bonds also involved in hyperconjugation??
So, is C-C hyperconjugation more stabilising or C-H ???

19remember C-C bond is stronger than C-H bond due to symmetrical overlap of orbitals ! hence breaking it is tougher than the other !
1I'd like to ask one question
What according to you guys is hyper-conjugation exactly ?
Remember one thing the bond is never broken completely even in the case of H .
The proper explanation comes in MO theory , if anyone is interested do a google
and btw why is ethane in the staggered configuration ??? and not eclipsed . now don't say steric strain ....
