Question

draw the structural formula of ethyne showing the nature of carbon carbon and carbon hydrogen bonds, the hybridised state of carbon and the carbon carbon and carbon hydrogen bond lengths​

Answer 1

Answer:

In diamond, each carbon combine with 4 other carbon atoms with four sigma bonds. Hence, the hybridization of carbon is sp

.

In graphite, each carbon combines with 3 other carbon atoms with three sigma bonds. so sp

2

hybridization.

In acetylene, one carbon combines with another carbon atom with three bonds (1 sigma and 2 pi bonds). so sp

2

hybridization.

The hybridisation of carbon atom in diamond, graphite and acetylene are respectively sp
