Assertion: sp^(3) hybrid carbon atom is ...

Assertion: `sp^(3)` hybrid carbon atom is more electronegative than sp hybrid carbon atom.
Reason: `sp^(3)` hybrid orbitals are more closer to the nucleus.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The greater s character of an orbital means it is more closer to the nucleus and it is more electronegative. Hence, sp hybrid carbon atom is more electronegative.
