Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles And Techniques Ques 68

68. In the hydrocarbon

$ \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH} $

$6 \quad \quad \quad 5 \quad \quad 4 \quad \quad 3 \quad \quad 2 \quad \quad 1$

The state of hybrization of carbons $1,3$ and $5$ are in the following sequence:

[2008]

(a) $s p^2, s p, s p^3$

(b) $s p, s p^3, s p^2$

(c) $s p, s p^2, s p^3$

(d) $s p^3, s p^2, s p$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 68.(b)

Solution: (b) $\mathrm{C}-1$ is $s p$ hybridized $(\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C})$

$\mathrm{C}-3$ is $s p^3$ hybridized $(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C})$

$\mathrm{C}-5$ is $s p^2$ hybridized $(\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C})$

Thus the correct sequence is $s p, s p^3, s p^2$.
