explain in detailed steps hybridisation of c2h2 and c2h4.
plz don't answer if you don't know it

Answer:
When one s and one p orbital belonging to the same main shell of an atom mix together to form two new equivalent orbitals, the type of hybridization is called sp hybridization. The new orbitals formed are called sp hybrid orbitals.
They are collinear with an angle of 1800.
Each of the hybrid orbitals formed has 50% s-character and 50% p-character.
The remaining two p-orbitals which do not participate in hybridization remain as such.
If these are half-filled, they may form bonds with other atoms having half-filled atomic orbitals.
Explanation:
In the excited state, one of the electrons get promoted to the orbital. Hence the electronic configuration of Carbon in the excited state is: Each CH molecule has just 1 hydrogen atom, therefore the and the get hybridised. It's normally the 2pz orbital which gets hybridised first.
