The decreasing order of `- I` effect of the orbitals is : (I) `sp` (II) `sp^2` (III) `sp^3`.A. `I gt II gt III`B. `III gt II gt I`C. `I gt III gt II`D. `II gt III gt I`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) The more the `s` character, the more is the penetration effect of `s` orbital towards the nucleus, and hence more `overline e`-withdrawing effect. So `sp(50 % s) gt sp^2(33 % s) gt sp^3 (25 % s)`.
