MCQ
Which $C-$atoms is the most electronegative in this structure $\mathop {C{H_3}}\limits^{{\rm{III}}} - \mathop {C{H_2}}\limits^{{\rm{II}}} - C \equiv \mathop {CH}\limits^{\rm{I}} $
  • $I$
  • B
    $II$
  • C
    $III$
  • D
    All are equal electronegative

Answer

Correct option: A.
$I$
a
$\mathop {C{H_3}}\limits^{{\rm{III}}} - \mathop {C{H_2}}\limits^{{\rm{II}}} - C \equiv \mathop {CH}\limits^{\rm{I}} $

Elecronegativity $\propto$ $s$-character.

In $sp$ hybrid orbitals, $s$ character $=50\, \%$

and in $sp ^3$ hybrid orbitals, $s$ character $=33.3 \,\%$

Thus, option $I$ is the most electronegative.
