In which of the following compound all carbon uses sp3 hybrid orbitals for bond formation?
Correct answer: A. (CH3)3COH
- A. (CH3)3COH
- B. CO2
- C. C2H4
- D. CH3COOH
Explanation
This is the correct answer. In (CH3)3COH, the carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms (three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) through single covalent bonds. This requires the carbon atom to have four hybrid orbitals, which are sp3 hybridized.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
