What is the electronegativity of carbon influenced by?

Options

  1. AThe number of hydrogen atoms bonded to it
  2. BThe number of oxygen atoms bonded to it
  3. CThe type of hybrid orbitals it possesses
  4. DThe size of its nucleus

Correct answer

C. The type of hybrid orbitals it possesses

Step-by-step solution

The change in hybridization affects the electronegativity of carbon, and the greater the s character of the hybrid orbitals, the greater is the electronegativity.
