Question

In carbonation, the carbon bearing the positive charge is:

• A. $s{p}^2$-hybridized
• B. $s{p}^{3}d$-hybridized
• C. sp -hybridized
• D. $s{p}^3$-hybridized

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$s{p}^2$-hybridized

Positively charged carbon act a s carbocation in which the hybridization of carbon atom is $s{p}^2$
