The state of hybridisation of carbons marked 2, 3, 5 and 6 in the following hydrocarbon are, respectively:
CH36−CH5=CH4−CH23−C2≡CH1
A
sp,sp3,sp2 and sp3
B
sp3,sp2,sp2 and sp
C
sp,sp2,sp2 and sp3
D
sp,sp2,sp3 and sp2
Step-by-Step Solution
In the given hydrocarbon CH36−CH5=CH4−CH23−C2≡CH1:
Carbon 2 (-C≡): Forms 2 σ bonds and 2 π bonds, so it is sp hybridised.
Carbon 3 (-CH2-): Forms 4 σ bonds, so it is sp3 hybridised.
Carbon 5 (-CH=): Forms 3 σ bonds and 1 π bond, so it is sp2 hybridised.
Carbon 6 (-CH3): Forms 4 σ bonds, so it is sp3 hybridised.
Therefore, the states of hybridisation for carbons 2, 3, 5 and 6 are sp, sp3, sp2, and sp3 respectively.
