Question

In a singlet carbene:

• A. Two unshared electrons are present in same orbital.
• B. Hybridisation of $C$ is $s{p}^3$.
• C. Hybridisation of $C$ is $sp$.
• D. One unpaired electron is present in p-orbital.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Two unshared electrons are present in same orbital.

Singlet carbene:
Hybridisation of $C$ is $s{p}^2$.
There is no unpaired electron.
