Question 1
What is the hybridization state and approximate bond angle of the central carbon atom
in acetonitrile (CH₃CN)?
A. sp³, 109.5°
B. sp², 120°
C. sp, 180°
D. sp³d, 90°
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nitrile carbon forms one single bond to the methyl carbon and one triple
bond to nitrogen. Having two electron domains (steric number of 2) requires sp
hybridization, yielding a linear geometry with a 180° bond angle.
