Explain, how is the electronegativity of carbon atoms related to their state of hybridisation in an organic compound ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Since s-electrons are more STRONGLY attached by the nucleus than p-electrons, THEREFORE, electronegativity INCREASES as the s-character of the hybridized orbital increases, i.e., in the order : `sp^(3) lt sp^(2) lt sp`.
