MCQ
The correct order regarding the electronegativity of hybrid orbitals of carbon is
  • A
    $sp < sp^2 < sp^3$
  • B
    $sp > sp^2 < sp^3$
  • $sp > sp^2 > sp^3$
  • D
    $sp < sp^2 > sp^3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$sp > sp^2 > sp^3$
c
The correct order regarding the electronegativity of hybrid orbitals of carbon is $sp >s p^{2}>s p^{3}$ because in $sp, sp^{2}$ and $s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals s-orbital character is $50 \%, 33.3 \%$ and $25 \%$ respectively and due to higher s-character electron attracting tendency, i.e. electronegativity increases.
