The correct numbering of parent chain is

C 1 H_{2} = C 2 H — C 3 H_{2} — C 4 H_{2} — C 5 \equiv C 6 H

Double and triple bond are equidistant from terminals, numbering is done in alphabetical order, giving lower number to ene
Hence,

C_{2} - C_{3}

are

s p^{2} - s p^{3}

hybridised

Q. In the compound $C H_{2} = C H - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C \equiv C H$ the $C_{2} - C_{3}$ bond is of
