Question

If the hybridization in $C_2{H}_2$ is sp, then what will be the bond angle?

• A. $180{}^{\circ }$
• B. $120{}^{\circ }$
• C. $150{}^{\circ }$
• D. $90{}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{ Hybridization }& \text{ Bond angle }\\ sp& 180^{\circ }\\ s{p}^2& 120^{\circ }\\ s{p}^3& 109^{\circ }28^{\prime }\end{array}$
