As per your syllabus, the relative ELECTRONEGATIVITY of carbon hybridised as sp, sp², sp³ goes in which order?
- sp² > sp > sp³
- sp³ > sp² > sp
- sp > sp² > sp³
- All are equal
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. sp > sp² > sp³
Your syllabus: greater s character ⇒ greater electronegativity.
sp (50%) > sp² (33%) > sp³ (25%).
