The correct order of electronegativity regarding the hybrid orbitals of carbon is :

Options

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

Answer

d

Explanation

As the `s^(-)` character increases in hybridized orbitals its electronegatively increases.
`{:(,sp,sp^(2),sp^(3)),("s-character",50%,33.3%,25%):}`
