Question

A straight chain hydrocarbon has the molecular formula C₈H₁₀. The hybridization of the carbon atoms from one end of the chain to the other are respectively sp³, sp², sp², sp³, sp², sp², sp and sp. The structural formula of the hydrocarbon would be

• A. CH₃C $\equiv$ CCH₂ - CH $=$ CHCH $=$ CH₂
• B. CH₃CH₂ - CH $=$ CHCH $=$ CHC $\equiv$ CH
• C. CH₃CH $=$ CHCH₂ - C $\equiv$ CCH $=$ CH₂
• D. CH₃CH $=$ CHCH₂ - CH $=$ CHC $\equiv$ CH

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Correct answer is (d) CH₃CH $=$ CHCH₂ - CH $=$ CHC $\equiv$ CH
