The pair of electron in the given carbanion, C H 3 C ≡ C ⊖   is present in which of the following orbitals?
Options
- A2 p
- Bs p 3
- Cs p 2
- Ds p
Correct answer
D. s p
Step-by-step solution
C H 3 - C ≡ C ⊖   : In the carbanion, the carbon is having 1 sigma bond, 2 π bonds and 1 lone pair therefore C is sp hybridized and lone pair is present in hybridised orbital.
