Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques - Result Question 10

####11. The correct order regarding the electronegativity of hybrid orbitals of carbon is

[2006]

(a) $s p > s p^{2} > s p^{3}$

(b) $s p < s p^{2} > s p^{3}$

(d) $s p > s p^{2} < s p^{3}$

Show Answer

Solution:

(a) Among the three given hybrid orbitals, $s p$ hybrid orbital is most electronegative.

Contribution of $s$ in $s p$ hybrid orbital is maximum $(50$ so this orbital is closer to nucleus. It will have greater tendency to pull electron towards it. Hence it becomes more electronegative and $s p^{3}$ becomes least electronegative as it has only $25$ s-character.
