Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Hybridisation of carbon = $ sp^{3} $ -number of $ s{p^{3-number,\pi -bonds}} $ In $ CO _2,(O\underset{1\pi }{\mathop{=}},C\underset{1\pi }{\mathop{=}},O) $ hybridisation of carbon = $ s{p^{3-2}}=sp $ In ethyne or acetylene, $ C _2H _2,,(H-C\overset{2\pi }{\mathop{\equiv \equiv }}C-H) $ hybridisation of carbon = $ s{p^{3-2}}=sp $
