Question

What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in ethyne, H-CEC-H?! Osp sp2 sp3 sp3d

Answer 1

Maximum no of sigma bonds that an atom can form is 1 if an atom undergoes sp hybridization Maximum no of pi bonds that an atom can form is 2 if an atom undergoes sp hybridization Example: C,H, in which C undegoes sp hybridization Ground electron configuration of C: 1s 2s 2p2 exited state electron configuration of C: 152 2s 2p3 D DIU hybridintion ones and one p orbitals mix to form 2 sp hybrid orbitals 2 sp hybrid orbitals of 2 C atoms overlap with each other atoms to form 1 sp-spo) hybrid bond. 2 sp hybrid orbitals of 2 C atoms overlap with 2 s orbitals of 2 H atoms to form 2 sp -s hybrid bonds. Remaining 2 p orbitals of 2 C atoms indulge in 71-overlaping to form 2 p-p(7) bonds. Thus, the hybridization of the carbon atoms in ethyne is sp hybridization
