Question

The hybridization of any of the Carbon atoms in $C_2{H}_2$ is

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Let's start with the basics of hybridization here.
We know how to write the electronic configuration of carbon.

$\to$ 1sp hybrid orbital is used for overlapping with 1s orbital of H

$\to$ 1sp hybrid orbital is used for overlapping with 1sp hybrid orbital of second carbon.
