Question

What is the hybridization of carbon in carbon cation

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbocations are carbon atoms in an organic molecule bearing a positive formal charge. Therefore they are carbon cations. Carbocations have only six electrons in their valence shell making them electron deficient. Thus, they are unstable electrophiles and will react very quickly with nucleophiles to form new bonds

Answer 2

Answer:

carbon has 4 electrons in the second shell (electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2p2). A carbocation has only 3 electrons and it has to form 3 sigma bonds with its substituents. Therefore, it needs 3 hybridised orbitals, so it is sp2 hybridised.
