Question

Explain the structure of Ethyne on the basis of Hybridization .

Answer 1

Answer:

This molecule is linear: all four atoms lie in a straight line. The carbon-carbon triple bond is only 1.20Å long. In the hybrid orbital picture of acetylene, both carbons are sp-hybridized. ... The 2py and 2pz orbitals remain unhybridized, and are oriented perpendicularly along the y and z axes, respectively.
