Question 1 Report

Which of the following represent hybridization in ethyne?
Answer Details
In ethyne, the carbon atoms form a triple bond, with one sigma bond and two pi bonds. Each carbon atom in ethyne is therefore sp hybridized, meaning that each carbon atom's 2s orbital and 2p orbital combine to form two sp hybrid orbitals oriented in a linear geometry. Therefore, the correct answer is Sp.
