The hybridisation of each carbon in the following compound respectively is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(s p^3, s p^2, s p^3, s p\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the compound, The \(C\)-atoms that is bonded to four different atoms involve four orbitals ( 1 of \(s\) and 3 of \(p\)-orbitals) during hybridisation. Hence, they have \(s p^3\)-hybridisation as in cases of (i) and (iii). The \(\mathrm{C}-\) atom bonded to three different…
