Question

The state of hybridization of $C_2,\,C_3,\,C_5$ and $C_6$ of the hydrocarbon,

is in the following sequence

• A. $sp, sp^3, sp^2 \, and \, sp^3$
• B. $sp^3, sp^2, sp^2 \, and \, sp$
• C. $sp, sp^2, sp^2 \, \, and \, sp^3$
• D. $sp sp^2, sp^3 \, and \, sp^2 $

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$C _{2}$ having $\rightarrow 2-\sigma$ bond $\rightarrow sp$

$C _{3}$ having $\rightarrow 4-\sigma$ bond $\rightarrow sp ^{3}$

$C _{5}$ having $\rightarrow 3-\sigma$ bond $\rightarrow sp ^{2}$

$C _{6}$ having $\rightarrow 4-\sigma$ bond $\rightarrow sp ^{3}$
