Question

Hybridisation of alkyl carbanion is

• A. SP
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Hybridisation and the geometry: Alkyl carbanion has three bond pairs and lone pair. Thus hybridization is $s{p}^3$ and geometry is pyramidal.

Note: Geometry of allyl and benzyl carbanion is almost planar and hybridization is $s{p}^2$.
