Chapter 3: Q3-25E- b (page 88)

Predict the hybridization of the carbon atom in each of the following

Functional groups:

(b) Nitrile

Short Answer

Expert verified

(b) The hybridization of the carbon atom is sp hybridization.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Hybridization

The new orbital鈥檚 generated after blending different atomic orbital鈥檚 possess different energy and shape.The atomic orbital belonging to the same energy level take part in hybridization.

02

Hybridization of carbon atom in nitrile

(b)In Nitriles, the carbon is involved in the triple bond formation with the nitrogen atom. Hence, the carbon atom is hybridized.
