In the following case, identify the more stable anion. Explain why it is more stable. The
?
anion is more stable because the negative charge is: on an
sp
-hybridized carbon atom rather than a nitrogen atom. on a less electronegative atom rather than an
sp^(3)
-hybridized carbon atom. on a carbon atom rather than a nitrogen atom. on a nitrogen atom rather than an
sp^(3)
-hybridized carbon atom.
