How does the change in hybridisation affect the electronegativity of carbon?
How does the change in hybridisation affect the electronegativity of carbon?
- The electronegativity of carbon decreases with an increase in s character of the hybrid orbitals.
- The greater the p character of the hybrid orbitals, the greater is the electronegativity.
- The electronegativity of carbon is not affected by the change in hybridisation.
- The greater the s character of the hybrid orbitals, the greater is the electronegativity. (correct)
