Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
Consider a molecule with a trigonal planar geometry and positively charged carbon. If the carbon is sp2 hybridized, how many equivalent orbitals overlap with 1s orbitals of hydrogen atoms?
A
Three
B
Two
C
One
D
Four
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, a carbocation like is sp2 hybridized and forms a trigonal planar shape, involving the overlap of three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals with the 1s orbitals of hydrogen atoms.
