Single elements on their own do not have a hybridization. Hybridization only occurs when there is a central atom with other elements (or lone pairs) coming off of it.

Which carbon is more electronegative sp3 sp2 sp?

sp carbons are more electronegative. The larger the 's' character of the atom, the closer the electrons are held to the nucleus. sp3 carbons are the least electronegative as the 'p' character forces the electrons to exist further from the nucleus, decreasing electronegativity.

Why would you expect a C-C sigma bond formed by sp2-sp2 overlap to be stronger than a sigma bond formed by sp3-sp3 overlap?

A C-C sigma bond formed by sp2-sp2 overlap is stronger than one formed by sp3-sp3 overlap because the sp2 hybrid orbitals have a greater s-character (33%) compared to sp3 orbitals (25%), leading to more effective overlap and stronger bonding. This higher s-character causes the sp2-sp2 bond to be shorter and stronger than the sp3-sp3 bond.


What is the hybridization of C4H8O2?

The molecule C4H8O2 has 16 valence electrons, which suggests it has sp3 hybridization. This means that the carbon atoms are likely sp3 hybridized, forming sigma bonds with other atoms.


Why Sp2 carbon is more electronegative than Sp3 carbon?

We should know that S orbitals hold electrons more tightly to nucleus than P orbitals . This implies that S orbitals are effectively more electronegative . Now, in sp2 carbon the character of each orbital has 1/3 or 33% of s orbital characteristics whereas in each sp3 orbital s character is 1/4 or 25% . So sp2 has more s character and therfore more electronegativity. H.Sehgal
