Q. When the hybridisation state of carbon atom changes from $ sp^ 3$ to $sp^2 $ and finally to $sp$, the angle between the hybridised orbitals

AIPMTAIPMT 1993Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

When the hybridization state of carbon atom changes from $sp^3$ to $sp^3$ and finally to sp, the angle between the hybridized orbitals increases progressively.The bond angles in $sp^3$ ,$sp^2$ and sp-hybridisation are $109^\circ ,120^\circ$ and $180^\circ$ respectively.
