In the organic compound `CH_(2)= CH - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - C -= CH`, the pair of hybridised orbitals involved in the formation of `C_(2)-C_(3)` bond is (a) `sp - sp^(2)` (b) `sp - sp^(3)` (c) `sp^(2) - sp^(3)` (d) `sp^(3) - sp^(3)` |

Answer» When both double bonds are present at equivalent positions, double bond is given preference while numbering the carbon chain. Thus, `underset(sp^(2))overset(1)(C)H_(2) = underset(sp^(2))overset(2)(C)H - underset(sp^(3))overset(3)(C)H_(2)-underset(sp^(3))overset(4)(C)H_(2) - underset(sp)overset(5)(C) -= underset(sp)overset(6)(C)H` `:. C_(2) - C_(3)` bond is formed by overlap of `sp^(2) - sp^(3)` orbitals. Thus, option (c) is correct. |
