Question

$ C{{H}_{3}}\cdot CH=C=C{{H}_{2}} $ has:

• A. only $ sp\text{-} $ hybridised carbon atoms
• B. both $ sp $ and $ sp\text{-} $ hybridised atoms
• C. only $ s{{p}^{2}}\text{-} $ hybridised carbon atoms
• D. $ sp,s{{p}^{2}} $ and $ s{{p}^{3}}\text{-} $ hybridised carbon atoms

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Carbon atom, whose valencies are satisfied with 4 single bonds, is $ s{{p}^{3}}\text{-} $ hybrid. Carbon atom, whose valencies are satisfied with one double-bond, is $ s{{p}^{2}}\text{-} $ hybrid while the carbon atom, whose valencies are satisfied either by 2 double-bonds or one triple and one single bond, is $ sp\text{-} $ hybrid.
