With a change in hybridisation of the carbon bearing the charge, the stability of a carbonion increase in the order

Options

A. `sp lt sp^(2) lt sp^(3)`
B. `sp lt sp^(3) lt sp^(2)`
C. `sp^(3) lt sp^(2) lt sp`
D. `sp^(2) lt sp lt sp^(3)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Stability of carbonion increases with increases in `s`-character of hybrid orbitals of carbon bearing charge, hence correct order is : `sp^(3) lt sp^(2) lt sp`.
