Question

In the following molecule:

The hybridisation of carbon a, b and c respectively are:

• A. sp³, sp², sp²
• B. sp³, sp², sp
• C. sp³, sp, sp
• D. sp³, sp, sp²

Answer 1

The correct option is A

sp³, sp², sp²

Solution:

1. In the following compound C^a is connected to four other atoms. So, its hybridisation is sp³.
2. In the following compound, C^b is connected to three other atoms. So, its hybridisation is sp².
3. In the following compound, C^c is connected to four other atoms. So, its hybridisation is sp².

So, the correct option is A.
