Question

According to recent studies and experimental verification, what is the generally accepted geometry and hybridization of a highly stabilized alkyl carbon free radical (such as $\dot{C}H_3$)?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Although historically debated, recent conclusive studies and models generally treat standard alkyl free radicals as having a planar structure with hybridization, where the odd electron resides in the unhybridized p-orbital.
