Question:medium

Which of the following shows resonance but not hyperconjugation?

Show Hint

Aniline shows resonance but lacks hyperconjugation because of the absence of adjacent C-H or C-C bonds.

  • Propene
  • Aniline
  • Toluene
  • Ethylbenzene
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Resonance in aniline arises from the interaction between the nitrogen atom's lone pair and the aromatic ring. Hyperconjugation is absent because there are no adjacent C-H or C-C bonds available for this interaction.
