28. In the compound, $>\mathrm{H}$, the $\mathrm{C} 2-\mathrm{C} 3$ bond is of the type

$(1999,2 \mathrm{M})$

(a) $s p-s p^{2}$

(b) $s p^{3}-s p^{3}$

(c) $s p-s p^{3}$

(d) $s p^{2}-s p^{3}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 28. (b)

Solution:

  1. According to the IUPAC conventions, compound can be numbered as:

$$ \mathrm{H}{2} \stackrel{1}{\mathrm{C}}=\stackrel{2}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}-\stackrel{3}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}{2}-\stackrel{4}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{2}-\stackrel{5}{\mathrm{C}} \equiv \stackrel{6}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{H} $$

Here, $\mathrm{C}-2$ is $s p^{2}$ and $\mathrm{C}-3$ is $s p^{3}$-hybridised.
