Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 11
Question: Homolytic fission of C - C bond in ethane gives an intermediate in which carbon is [IIT-JEE 1992]
Options:
A) $ sp^{3} $ hybridised
B) $ sp^{2} $ hybridized
C) $ sp $ hybridised
D) $ sp^{2}d $ hybridized
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ CH_3-CH_3\underset{\text{bond fission}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{Homolytic}}}\underset{Methyl,free,radicals}{\mathop{CH_3^{\bullet },+,CH_3^{\bullet }}}, $ Free radical is formed which is $ sp^{2} $ -hybridized.
