Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 22
Question: Example of $ sp^{2} $ hybridization is [CPMT 1997]
Options:
A) $ CH_3^{+} $
B) $ CH_3 $
C) $ C_2H_5^{+} $
D) $ C_2H_5 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Carbonium ions an sp2 hybridized species.
$ \begin{matrix} H \\ H \\ \end{matrix}>\begin{matrix} {} \\ \overset{+}{\mathop{C}},-H \\ (CH_3^{+}) \\ \end{matrix} $ $ \begin{matrix} CH_3 \\ H \\ \end{matrix}>\begin{matrix} {} \\ \overset{+}{\mathop{C}},-H \\ (C_2H_5^{+}) \\ \end{matrix} $
