- In an organic compound when inductive and electromeric effects operate in opposite directions, the electromeric effect predominates.
In alkylarene, $s p^{3}$ hybridized $C - H$ bonds are present the carbon of which is directly bonded to $s p^{2}$ carbon atoms so, hyperconjugation effect is observed in o-xylene.
