Question

In the molecule $CH\equiv C-CH={CH}_2$, the hybridization of $C-C$ bond is:

• A. $sp-s{p}^2$
• B. ${sp}^3-sp$
• C. ${sp}^3-{sp}^3$
• D. ${sp}^2-{sp}^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$sp-s{p}^2$

There are three types of Hybridization-

$sp$-When Carbon is bonded to other Carbon with a triple bond.

$s{p}^2$-When Carbon is bonded to other Carbon with a double bond.

$s{p}^3$-When Carbon is bonded to other Carbon with a single bond.

So, in the given molecule the hybridization of $C-C$ bond is $sp-s{p}^2$
