Electronegativity of carbon atoms depend...

Electronegativity of carbon atoms depends upon their state of hybridisation. In which of the following compounds, the carbon marked with asterisk is most electronegative ?

A

`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-.^(**)CH_(2)-CH_(3)`

B

`CH_(3) - .^(**)CH = CH - CH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-C -= overset(**)(C)H`

D

`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH=overset(**)(C)H_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Electronegatively increases as the state of hybridisation changes from `sp^(3)-sp^(2)-sp`. Thus, sp-carbon has the highest electronegatively, i.e., option (c) is correct.
