Question
In which of the following species is the underlined carbon having $$s{p^3}$$ hybridisation?
A.
$$C{H_3}\underline C OOH$$
B.
$$C{H_3}\underline C {H_2}OH$$
C.
$$C{H_3}\underline C OC{H_3}$$
D.
$$C{H_2} = \underline C H - C{H_3}$$
Answer :
$$C{H_3}\underline C {H_2}OH$$
Solution :
In molecules (A), (C) and (D), the carbon atom has a multiple bond, only (B) has $$s{p^3}$$ hybridization.
