The electromeric effect is a temporary electronic effect seen only in molecules containing a multiple bond (C=C, C=O, etc.), where the pi-electron pair shifts completely to one atom the instant a reagent attacks, and reverses back once the reagent is removed.

Comparing the electronic effects:

  • Hyperconjugation (option a): permanent delocalisation of electron density from a C-H (or C-C) sigma bond into an adjacent empty/p orbital or pi system; not related to complete pi-electron transfer on demand.
  • -I effect / +I effect (options b, c): the inductive effect — a permanent, weak polarisation of a sigma bond due to electronegativity differences, transmitted through the chain of sigma bonds; it does not involve pi electrons being completely transferred, and it doesn't require an attacking reagent. …
