Question

KWhich of these is an sp hybridized compound. a. CH_(4). b. C_(2)H_(4). c. C_(2)H_(2). d. C_(2)H_(6)

Answer 1

If you just draw the structures of each one of the compound, you will notice that only \(C_2 H_2\) has triple bond between C and H.

Just remember this that if there is C triple bond H in the structure of a compound, then that C has sp hybridization.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

one of sp hybridization features is linear structure.you can draw those molecules and judge.
