Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 187
Question: With a change in hybridisation of the carbon bearing the charge, the stability of a carbanion increase in the order [DCE 2003]
Options:
A) $ sp<sp^{2}<sp^{3} $
B) $ sp<sp^{3}<sp^{2} $
C) $ sp^{3}<sp^{2}<sp $
D) $ sp^{2}<sp<sp^{3} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Stability of carbanions increase with increase in s-character of hybrid orbitals of carbon bearing charge, hence correct order is : $ sp^{3}<sp^{2}<sp $ .
