Hybridization of positively charged and negatively charged carbons of the following respectively are

Hybridization of positively charged and negatively charged carbons of the following respectively are
  1. $\mathrm{sp}^2, \mathrm{sp}$
  2. $\mathrm{sp}^2, \mathrm{sp}^2$
  3. $\mathrm{sp}^3, \mathrm{sp}^3$
  4. $\mathrm{sp}^3, \mathrm{sp}^2$

Solution

Positively- charged carbon in carbocation $=\mathrm{sp}^2$ - hybridized due to three bond pairs and zero lone pairs. Negatively - charged carbon in carbanion $=s p-$ hybridized due to one lone pair and one bond pair of electrons.
