In which of the following molecules does the carbon atom have a linear distribution of electron density?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In molecule A, the carbon atom is bonded to two sulfur atoms (which have high electronegativity) and two hydrogen atoms (which have low electronegativity), resulting in a linear distribution of electron density around the carbon atom. In molecules B and C, the carbon atom is bonded to four atoms of similar electronegativity (either sulfur or hydrogen), resulting in a tetrahedral distribution of electron density around the carbon atom.
