JEE MainChemistryBasics of Organic ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
In the following molecule, JEE Main 2021 (Online) 18th March Evening Shift Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 167 English Hybridisation of Carbon a, b, and c respectively are :
  1. A
    sp3, sp2, sp2
  2. B
    sp3, sp, sp2
  3. C
    sp3, sp2, sp
  4. D
    sp3, sp, sp

Correct answer: A

To determine the hybridisation of carbons aaa, bbb, and ccc, we use the rule:

  • Carbon with 4 sigma bonds ⇒sp3\Rightarrow sp^3⇒sp3
  • Carbon with 3 sigma bonds + 1 pi bond ⇒sp2\Rightarrow sp^2⇒sp2
  • Carbon with 2 sigma bonds + 2 pi bonds ⇒sp\Rightarrow sp⇒sp

Since the structure image is not visible here, the stored correct answer suggests the identified carbons correspond to:

  1. Carbon aaa having only single bonds, hence tetrahedral. ⇒a=sp3\Rightarrow a = sp^3⇒a=sp3

  2. Carbon bbb being part of a double-bonded environment. ⇒b=sp2\Rightarrow b = sp^2⇒b=sp2

  3. Carbon ccc also being part of a double bond / trigonal planar center. ⇒c=sp2\Rightarrow c = sp^2⇒c=sp2

Thus, a,b,c=sp3, sp2, sp2a,b,c = sp^3,\ sp^2,\ sp^2a,b,c=sp3, sp2, sp2

So the correct option is:

Option A
