Study Notes
Hybridization State of Carbon in Phenol Group
- The carbon atom in a phenol group is in a sp2 hybridization state.
- This hybridization state is characterized by the presence of a trigonal planar geometry.
- The sp2 hybrid orbital is predominantly utilized by the carbon in a phenol group.
- This type of hybridization is a result of the carbon atom forming three sigma bonds with its neighboring atoms.
