Question

Which hybrid orbitals are involved in the $C{H}_3-CH=CH-C{H}_3$ compound?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B $s{p}^2$ and $s{p}^3$

In the compound, $C{H}_3-CH=CH-C{H}_3$ , $s{p}^3$ and $s{p}^2$ hybridized carbon atoms are present. Two $C$ atoms are $s{p}^3$ and other two are $s{p}^2$ hybridized.
