Question

Which of the following carbon atoms is most electronegative?

• A. III
• B. II
• C. I
• D. All are equally electronegative

Answer 1

The correct option is C I

Order of electronegative of c-atom:
$sp>s{p}^2>s{p}^3$

Therefore, the order of electronegativity of carbon atoms:
$I>II=III$

Hence, option C is correct.
