Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 196
Question: Which one is false in the following statements
Options:
A) Each carbon in ethylene is in $ sp^{2} $ hybridisation
B) Each carbon in acetylene is in $ sp^{3} $ hybridization
C) Each carbon in benzene is in $ sp^{2} $ hybridisation
D) Each carbon in ethane is in $ sp^{3} $ hybridization
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
In $ C_2H_2 $ each carbon has $ sp $ -hybridization $ H-\underset{sp}{\mathop{C}},\equiv \underset{sp}{\mathop{C}},-H $
