(Me \(=\) methyl group) the electronegativity of \(\mathrm{N}\) is in the order

  1. A \(\mathrm{MeCN}>\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{N}>\mathrm{Me}_{3} \mathrm{N}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{N}>\mathrm{Me}_{3} \mathrm{N}>\mathrm{MeCN}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Me}_{3} \mathrm{N}>\mathrm{MeCN}>\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{N}\)
  4. D Electronegativity same in all

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{MeCN}>\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{N}>\mathrm{Me}_{3} \mathrm{N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) In Me \(_{3} \mathrm{N} \rightarrow \mathrm{N}\) is \(s p^{3}\) -hybrid and in \(\mathrm{MeCN} \rightarrow \mathrm{N}\) is \(s p\) -hybrid Also electronegativity of any element \(\alpha \%\) \(s\) -character in hybrid orbitals. Thus, order of electronegativity for…
