Give reasons for the following : Ethyne molecule is linear.

Answer»

Solution :ETHYNE MOLECULE is linear because both the carbon atoms in it are sp hybridized having two unhybridised orbitals (2px and2py).
The two sphybrid orbitals of both the carbon atoms are oriented in opposite direction forming an angleof `180^(@)`.
`H - C UNDERSET(2PI" bonds")overset(O^(-)) =C - H`
