Question

The hybrid forms of carbon in alcohol is :
(1) Sp3
(2) Sp2
(iii) Sp
(iv) None of these
​

Answer 1

Answer:

A is the correct because when carbon attach with OH and remaining valency completed by hydrogen and the formula for finding hybridisation is sigma bond + lone pair , therefore carbon has 4 sigma bond hence carbon is sp3 hybridised

Answer 2

(1)Similar to water, an alcohol can be pictured as having an sp3 hybridized tetrahedral oxygen atom with nonbonding pairs of electrons occupying two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals. ... A secondary alcohol has the hydroxyl group on a secondary (2°) carbon atom, which is bonded to two other carbon atoms.
