Q60 / 160 · JIPMER 2010 · Chemistry

Which of the following has a bond formed by overlap of $s p-s p^3$ hybrid orbitals?

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_3$
  • C
    $\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2$
  • D
    $\mathrm{HC} \equiv \mathrm{CH}$

Solution

Figure Hence, $\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ has a bond formed by overlap of $s p-s p^3$ hybrid orbitals.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
