    The correct order regarding the electronegativity of hybrid orbitals of carbon is

    A) \[sp<s{{p}^{2}}>s{{p}^{3}}\]      

    B)        \[sp<s{{p}^{2}}<s{{p}^{3}}\]

    C)        \[sp>s{{p}^{2}}<s{{p}^{3}}\]      

    D)        \[sp>s{{p}^{2}}>s{{p}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The electronegativity of the hybrid orbitals decreases as the percentage of s-character decreases.  Hence,  the  correct order is                 \[sp>s{{p}^{2}}>s{{p}^{3}}\]
