Explain, how is the electronegativity of carbon atoms related to the state of hybridisation in an organic compound ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronegativity increases as s character of the hybridised carbon increases. Therefore, the order of electronegativity is `sp^3 lt sp^2 lt sp`.
