In the compound ^1 CH ₂ = ^2 CH - ^3 CH ₂ - ^4 CH ₂ - ^5 C ^6 CH , The C₂ - C₃ bond is of type
Options
- Asp - sp^2
- Bsp^3 - sp^3
- Csp - sp^3
- Dsp^2 - sp^3
Correct answer
D. sp^2 - sp^3
Step-by-step solution
The given compound is ¹ CH ₂ = ² CH - ³ CH ₂ - ⁴ CH ₂ - ⁵ C ⁶ CH . The hybridization of a carbon atom is determined by the number of sigma bonds it forms. Carbon atom C₂ is bonded to one carbon atom via a double bond, one carbon atom via a single bond, and one hydrogen atom via a single bond. It forms 3 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond. Thus, C₂ is sp^2 hybridized. Carbon atom C₃ is bonded to two carbon atoms via single bonds and two hydrogen atoms via single bonds. It forms 4 sigma bonds and 0 pi bonds. Thus, C₃ is sp^3
