The order of electronegativity of carbon...

The order of electronegativity of carbon in sp, `sp^(2) and sp^(3)` hybridized states follows

A

`sp gt sp^2 gt sp^3`

B

`sp^3 gt sp^2 gt sp`

C

`sp gt sp^3 gt sp^2`

D

`sp^2gt sp gt sp^3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
% s–character `overset(sp)(50%) overset(sp^2)(33.33%) overset(sp^3)(25%)`
More the % s–character more the electronegativity [other factors being equal].
