When 
undergoes homolytic bond-fission
A
carbon undergoes a geometric change from tetrahedral to planar
B
hybridisation changes from 
to 
to C
then no change in geometry
D
bond angle will be 
with 
bonds
with bonds
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Methyl free radical has 
-hybridised carbon atom having so planar geometry (with singly occupied 
-orbital)
Bond angle 
with three coplanar 
bonds tetrahedral bond angle 
( 
-hybridised carbon)
