Answer:

Correct Answer: 20. (b)

Solution:

  1. Allene is the name given to propdiene, H2C=C=CH2

Hybridisation of an atom is determined by determining the number of hybrid orbitals at that atom which is equal to the number of sigma (σ) bonds plus number of lone pairs at the concerned atom.

Pi(π) bonds are not formed by hybrid orbitals, therefore, not counted for hybridisation.

Here, the terminal carbons have only three sigma bonds associated with them, therefore, hybridisation of terminal carbons is sp3. The central carbon has only two sigma bonds associated, hence hybridisation at central carbon is sp.
