A version of this effect occurring through the inverse of its usual mechanism has been observed in the fluoroethyl anion. In toluene, this phenomenon overpowers the inductive effect. This phenomenon is often considered as an alternative to the older, conventional explanation of the anomeric effect via electrostatic interactions. This phenomenon explains why increasing the number of alkyl substituents on a carbocation results in an increase in its stability. A phenomenon similar to this one but involving only p orbitals is called resonance. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which electrons in a sigma bond interact with an adjacent empty or partially filled p orbital.

hyperconjugation [or no-bond resonance; or Baker -Nathan effect; accept anomeric effect before "extension"]
