The total number of electrons present in the valance shell of the negatively charged `C` of a carbanion is

A

8

B

6

C

4

D

5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In carbanions, the negatively charged `C` atom has six `e^(-)` from the three sigma bounds and two `e^(-)s` from the unshared electron pair:
`R-overset(-)overset(..)underset(R)underset(|)C-R`
