As per your syllabus, the methyl carbocation (CH₃⁺) has which geometry and hybridisation?
ALinear, sp
BTetrahedral, sp³
CPyramidal, sp³
DTrigonal planar, sp²
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Trigonal planar, sp²
syllabus Fig 8.3(a): CH₃⁺ is sp² with empty p orbital perpendicular to the plane ⇒ trigonal planar.
