Which of the following has sp³ hybridized carbon?
Correct answer: B. Butane
- A. Benzene
- B. Butane
- C. 2-butyne
- D. 1-pentene
Explanation
The hybridization of carbon in organic compounds determines the arrangement of its electron orbitals and affects the geometry of the molecule. In Butane, the carbon atoms are bonded to ten different atoms or groups (hydrogen and carbon atoms), indicating sp³ hybridization. Hence, option B is correct.

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.
