(c) Carboxylic acid

Short Answer

Expert verified

(c) The hybridization of the carbon atom issp2 hybridization.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Hybridization

The extension of valence bond theory results in the hybridization concept.The bond energies, bond formation and bond length can be understood with the help of hybridization.

02

Hybridization of the carbon atom in the carboxylic acid

(c) In carboxylic acid, the carbon atom is involved in the double bond formation with the oxygen atom. Hence, the carbon atom issp2 hybridized.
