In a carbocation, the electron deficient `C` is bounded to three other atom, and for this bonding uses

A

`pAO's`

B

`sp^(2)HO's`

C

`sp^(3)HO's`

D

`spHO's`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The electron deficient `C` and the three atoms directly attachted to it are lying in the same plane. Therefore, this part of carbocation is flat. `sp^(2)` hybrid orbitals lie in one plane ( that of the `C` nucleus) and are directed toward the corners of an equilateral triangle.
