The state of hybridisation of C2, C3, C5 and C6 of the hydrocarbon, [figure] is in the following sequence
- sp3, sp2, sp2 and sp
- sp, sp2, sp2 and sp3
- sp, sp2, sp3 and sp2
- sp, sp3, sp2 and sp3
Answer
(4) sp, sp3, sp2 and sp3
Solution
As per NCERT, a carbon with only single bonds is sp3, a carbon with one double bond is sp2 and a carbon with a triple bond is sp hybridised.
C2 (-C ) carries a triple bond sp
C3 (–CH(CH3)–) has only single bonds sp3
C5 (–CH=) carries a double bond sp2
C6 (quaternary C bonded to three CH3 groups) has only single bonds sp3
Sequence: sp, sp3, sp2 and sp3
Answer: (4)
