Q3-25E- b
Question
Predict the hybridization of the carbon atom in each of the following
Functional groups:
(b) Nitrile
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
(b) The hybridization of the carbon atom is sp hybridization.
1Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Hybridization
The new orbital’s generated after blending different atomic orbital’s possess different energy and shape. The atomic orbital belonging to the same energy level take part in hybridization.
2Step 2: Hybridization of carbon atom in nitrile
(b)In Nitriles, the carbon is involved in the triple bond formation with the nitrogen atom. Hence, the carbon atom is hybridized.
