Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
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−p3
Answer
sp−sp3
Explanation
Solution
In the given organic compound, the carbon atoms numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are sp,sp, sp3,sp3,sp2 , and sp2 hybridized respectively. Thus, the pair of hybridized orbitals involved in the formation of C2-C3 bond is sp-sp3 .
