Carbene intermediates are produced by the photolysis of diazomethane `(CH_2N_2)` or kenene `(CH_2 = C = O)`. They are also produced by the reaction of `CHX_3` with base or by Simmons-Smith reaction. There are two types of carbenes, singlet and triplet. They are so called due to their spin state.
Singlet and triplet carbene are same in :

A

Types of hybridisation

B

Number of unshared `overline e` pairs (or `LP overline e^, s`)

C

Number of `sigma-bonds`

D

Bond angle
