What is the hybridization of the C indicated with the arrow? A)sp³ B)sp² C)sp D)s

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carbon indicated by the arrow is bonded to two other atoms, which corresponds to sp hybridization. The lone pair on the carbon atom creates a distorted tetrahedral, which leads to S1 character for the first bond and P1 character for the second bond. Therefore, the hybridization for the indicated carbon is sp², which corresponds to choice B.
