The state of hybridisation of carbons marked 2, 3, 5 and 6 in the following hydrocarbon are, respectively: CH36CH5=CH4CH23C2CH1\overset{6}{\text{CH}_3}-\overset{5}{\text{CH}}=\overset{4}{\text{CH}}-\overset{3}{\text{CH}_2}-\overset{2}{\text{C}}\equiv\overset{1}{\text{CH}}

A

sp,sp3,sp2 and sp3sp, sp^3, sp^2 \text{ and } sp^3

B

sp3,sp2,sp2 and spsp^3, sp^2, sp^2 \text{ and } sp

C

sp,sp2,sp2 and sp3sp, sp^2, sp^2 \text{ and } sp^3

D

sp,sp2,sp3 and sp2sp, sp^2, sp^3 \text{ and } sp^2

Step-by-Step Solution

In the given hydrocarbon CH36CH5=CH4CH23C2CH1\overset{6}{\text{CH}_3}-\overset{5}{\text{CH}}=\overset{4}{\text{CH}}-\overset{3}{\text{CH}_2}-\overset{2}{\text{C}}\equiv\overset{1}{\text{CH}}:

  • Carbon 2 (-C\text{-C}\equiv): Forms 2 σ\sigma bonds and 2 π\pi bonds, so it is spsp hybridised.
  • Carbon 3 (-CH2-\text{-CH}_2\text{-}): Forms 4 σ\sigma bonds, so it is sp3sp^3 hybridised.
  • Carbon 5 (-CH=\text{-CH=}): Forms 3 σ\sigma bonds and 1 π\pi bond, so it is sp2sp^2 hybridised.
  • Carbon 6 (-CH3\text{-CH}_3): Forms 4 σ\sigma bonds, so it is sp3sp^3 hybridised. Therefore, the states of hybridisation for carbons 2, 3, 5 and 6 are spsp, sp3sp^3, sp2sp^2, and sp3sp^3 respectively.
