Substitued ammonium ion formed from an amine gets stabilised due to dispersal of the positive charge by the +I effect of the alkyl group. What does this mean?

Question

australopithecus · Answer

It is essentially hyperconjugation.

What this is explaining is an amine something like, R3N -> R3NH+

Where the Positive charge is stabilized by the alkyl groups (the R groups, which is just a hydrocarbon chain) by donating electrons

australopithecus · Answer

Remember the positive charge is more on the hydrogen than it is on the nitrogen, also something to realize, this is because hydrogen is more electropositive than nitrogen

anonymous · Answer

So the dispersal of positive charge is due to hyperconjugation?

australopithecus · Answer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperconjugation I would say so

australopithecus · Answer

I could be incorrect, pretty sure it is due to hyperconjugation though
