Question

Explain formation of the acetylene on the basis of hybridization

Answer 1

Answer:

In the hybrid orbital picture of acetylene, both carbons are sp-hybridized. The C-C sigma bond is formed by the overlap of one sp orbital from each of the carbons, while the two C-H sigma bonds are formed by the overlap of the second sp orbital on each carbon with a 1s orbital on a hydrogen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hybridization is the ability of atomic orbitals to form new atomic orbitals with one another. It not only influences the type of covalent bond being formed but also the properties of those bonds. Thus, the triple bonds in acetylene form from the overlap of the one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
