Q

Hyperconjugation, or the overlap of a filled σ orbital with an empty unhybridized p orbital, is linked to the stability trend of carbocations. Please represent this phenomenon by explicitly drawing the hyperconjugation that occurs with an ethyl carbocation, clearly indicating the types of orbitals that are interacting, the phases of the orbitals, and hybridization of the carbons.
