NEET Chemistry Classification MCQ Question
A diagram shows three alcohol structures with hydroxyl groups attached to carbon atoms of varying hybridization states. Which of the following correctly identifies the classification of alcohols based on the carbon atom hybridization state to which the hydroxyl group is attached?
Monohydric alcohols with sp3 hybridized carbon
Tertiary alcohols with sp2 hybridized carbon
Primary alcohols with sp hybridized carbon
Secondary alcohols with sp hybridized carbon
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, alcohols are classified based on the hybridization of the carbon atom to which the hydroxyl group is attached, with monohydric alcohols having the –OH group attached to an sp3 hybridized carbon atom.
