    The - 3 degree C (carbon atom) 2p atomic orbital + methyl C-H sigma molecular orbital because one C-H bond has to dissolve its bond and provide the H that is sigma molecular orbital and the carbonation is type 3 degree sp2 carbon.

    Hyperconjugation is the stabilizing effect arising from the electrons ' engagement in a π-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with a neighboring empty or partly filled p-orbital or π-orbital to provide an expanded molecular orbital that enhances system stability.
