The pair of electrons in the given carbanion, \(CH_3C \equiv C^-,\) is present in which of the following orbitals ? 

  1. A \(sp^2\)
  2. B \(sp\)
  3. C \(2p\)
  4. D \(sp^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(sp\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\stackrel{sp}{\mathrm{C}}\equiv \stackrel{sp}{\mathrm{C}^{-}}\) Thus, pair of electrons is present in sp-hybridised orbital.
