In the organic compound CH 2 = CH – CH 2 – CH 2 – C ≡ CH, the pair of hydridised orbitals involved in the formation of: C 2 – C 3 bond is: (a) sp – sp 2 (b) sp – sp 3 (c) sp 2 – sp 3 (d) sp 3 – sp 3

Correct option is (b)

C⁶H₂ = C⁵H – C⁴H₂ – C³H₂– C²≡ C¹H

In the given organic compound, the carbon atoms are numbered as 1,2,3,4,5,6 are sp,sp³,sp³,sp²,sp² hybridised respectively. Thus the pair of hybridised orbitals in the formaytion of C₂ – C₃ bond is: sp – sp_3.

(for simplicity for calculating hybridisation: double bond is count as 1, single bond is count as 1 and triple bond is count as 1)

In the organic compound CH2 = CH – CH2 – CH2– C ≡ CH, the pair of hydridised orbitals involved in the formation of: C2 – C3 bond is:(a) sp – sp2 (b) sp – sp3(c) sp2– sp3 (d) sp3 – sp3

In the organic compound CH₂ = CH – CH₂ – CH₂– C ≡ CH, the pair of hydridised orbitals involved in the formation of: C₂ – C₃ bond is:
(a) sp – sp₂ (b) sp – sp₃

(c) sp₂– sp₃ (d) sp₃ – sp₃
