Hybridization of positively charged and negatively charged carbons of the following respectively are
Options
- Asp ^2, sp
- Bsp ^2, sp ^2
- Csp ^3, sp ^3
- Dsp ^3, sp ^2
Correct answer
A. sp ^2, sp
Step-by-step solution
Positively- charged carbon in carbocation = sp ^2 - hybridized due to three bond pairs and zero lone pairs. Negatively - charged carbon in carbanion =s p- hybridized due to one lone pair and one bond pair of electrons.
