Question

Considering the state of hybridization of carbon atoms, find out the molecule among the following which is linear? (A) CH3 - C ≡ C - CH3 (B)  CH2 = CH - CH2 -C ≡ CH  (C) CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3 (D) CH3 - CH = CH - CH3

H3C - C ≡ C - CH3 is linear because C2 and C3 are sp hybridised carbon atom.

Q. Considering the state of hybridization of carbon atoms, find out the molecule among the following which is linear?

$C H_{3} - C \equiv C - C H_{3}$

$C H_{2} = C H - C H_{2} - C \equiv C H$

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - C H = C H - C H_{3}$

$H_{3} C - C \equiv C - C H_{3}$ is linear because $C_{2}$ and $C_{3}$ are $s p$ hybridised carbon atom.

Q. Considering the state of hybridization of carbon atoms, find out the molecule among the following which is linear?

CH3​−C≡C−CH3​

CH2​=CH−CH2​−C≡CH

CH3​−CH2​−CH2​−CH3​

CH3​−CH=CH−CH3​

H3​C−C≡C−CH3​ is linear because C2​ and C3​ are sp hybridised carbon atom.

$C H_{3} - C \equiv C - C H_{3}$

$C H_{2} = C H - C H_{2} - C \equiv C H$

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - C H = C H - C H_{3}$

$H_{3} C - C \equiv C - C H_{3}$ is linear because $C_{2}$ and $C_{3}$ are $s p$ hybridised carbon atom.
