Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 5
Question: The compound in which carbon uses only its $ sp^{3} $ hybrid orbitals for bond formation is [IIT-JEE 1989]
Options:
A) $ HCOOH $
B) $ {{(NH_2)}_2}CO $
C) $ {{(CH_3)}_3}COH $
D) $ {{(CH_3)}_3}CHO $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ \overset{sp^{3}}{\mathop{CH_3}},-\underset{\underset{\underset{sp^{3}}{\mathop{CH_3}}}{\mathop{|,}},}{\overset{\overset{\overset{sp^{3}}{\mathop{CH_3}},}{\mathop{|}},}{\mathop{{C^{sp^{3}}}-}}},OH $ All the carbon atoms are $ sp^{3} $ hybridized.
