How does spreading of charge contribute to the stability of a molecule?
Q. But this is not my main question is: How is spreading of charge possible in tertiary carbocation? I understand that positive charge is spread throughout the molecule but isn't the negative charge concentrated in a single atom of carbon? So, in one sense, isn't the negative charge localised? Please help me clear my confusion

A. Hello fellow, Hyperconjugation in the same way that a P (or Pi) orbital can overlap into an adjacent vacant P (Pi or anti-Pi) cf. typical conjugation ie., aromaticity, a sigma bond oriented similarly can overlap into adjacent vacant orbital for example, in ethanyl cation (CH3CH2+), the positive charge can be formally assigned with a vacant P orbital on one of the carbon atoms. This positive charge is stabilised by the overlap of one of the CH3 (C-H sigma) into the vacant orbital - verging towards a three-atom-two-electron bond The same is true of tertiary carbocations, consider, tert-butyl cation - one (or possible more) of the terminal methyl C-H bonds overlap into the vacant P orbital on the central atom. Secondary to this… [cont.]
