Question

The state of hybridization of $C_2,C_3,C_5$ and $C_6$ of the hydrocarbon,

is in the following sequence

• A. $sp,s{p}^3,s{p}^{2}ands{p}^3$
• B. $s{p}^3,s{p}^2,s{p}^{2}andsp$
• C. $sp,s{p}^2,s{p}^{2}ands{p}^3$
• D. $sps{p}^2,s{p}^{3}ands{p}^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$C_2$ having $\to 2-\sigma$ bond $\to sp$

$C_3$ having $\to 4-\sigma$ bond $\to s{p}^3$

$C_5$ having $\to 3-\sigma$ bond $\to s{p}^2$

$C_6$ having $\to 4-\sigma$ bond $\to s{p}^3$
