Total number of covalent bonds in C 3 O 2 is x and y is the number of sp-hybridised atom. Find the sum of x + y?
Correct answer
11
Step-by-step solution
O = C s p = C s p = C s p = O There are eight covalent bonds in C 3 O 2, so x = 8 and y = 3 as 3 C-atoms are sp-hybridised. So x + y = 8 + 3 = 11.
