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

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Electronegativity of a hybrid orbital is directly proportional to its s-character. Since s-orbitals are closer to the nucleus, greater s-character results in stronger electron pull. The s-character is for , for , and for . Thus, the order is .
