What is the hybridization of each carbon atom in acetonitrile?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hybridization of carbon in acetonitrile

Step by step solution

01

Hybridization of carbon atoms

A carbon atom with four atoms bound to it is sp3, a carbon atom with three atoms bound to it is sp2, and a carbon atom with two atoms bound to it is sp .

02

Acetonitrile molecule

In the acetonitrile molecule represented below we can see that the carbon with three hydrogens bound to it has four atoms so it isand the carbon bound to nitrogen has bonded to two atoms so it is sp.
