Hybridisation in CH ₃, + C H ₃ and C ₃ are respectively

Options

  1. As p^2, s p^2, s p^3
  2. Bs p^2, s p^3, s p^3
  3. Cs p^3, s p^3, s p^2
  4. Ds p^3, s p^2, s p^2

Correct answer

A. s p^2, s p^2, s p^3

Step-by-step solution

C H ₃ (methyl free radical) has planar structure with s p^2 hybridisation of ' C ' atom. The odd electron is present in unhybridised 2 p_z orbital. CH ₃ (methyl carbonium ion) has also trigonal planar structure (s p^2 ) . CH ₃ (methyl carbanion) has tetrahedral structure (s p^3 ) and one of the hybrid orbitals contains the lone pair of electrons.
