  1. C2H4
  2. N2
  3. HCl
  4. C2H2

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following compounds does the central atom exhibit sp hybridization?
  • Step 1: Identify the central atom in the compound you are analyzing.
  • Step 2: Count the number of sigma bonds and lone pairs around the central atom.
  • Step 3: Use the formula: Hybridization = Number of sigma bonds + Number of lone pairs.
  • Step 4: If the result is 2, the hybridization is sp.
  • Step 5: In C2H2, each carbon atom has 2 sigma bonds (one with another carbon and one with hydrogen) and no lone pairs.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the hybridization of the carbon atoms in C2H2 is sp.
