Question

Considering the state of hybridization of carbon atoms, find
out the molecule among the following which is linear ?
(a) CH₃– CH = CH–CH₃
(b) CH₃ – C ≡ C – CH₃
(c) CH₂ = CH – CH₂ – C ≡ CH
(d) CH₃ – CH₂ – CH₂ – CH₃

Answer 1

Answer:

c) CH₂ = CH – CH₂ – C ≡ CH

d) CH₃ – CH₂ – CH₂ – CH₃

Explanation:

Answer 2

CH₃ – C ≡ C – CH₃ is linear molecule.

Explanation:

• The structure of a molecule depends on its hybridization.

• The hybridization that is having two orbitals are placed 180° away from each other, so they are linear.

• This leads to only sp hybridization to be linear.

• Here, the 1st molecule is having sp2 hybridization.

• So its planar but not linear.

• Third and fourth molecule has sp3 hybrid carbon atoms in the central part of the molecule.

• So they aren't linear.

• So the compound but 2 yne is only linear compound here.
