1.	Predict the hybridization state of each carbon atom in allene which has the following structure:CH2 = C = CH2
Answer» central carbon is sp hybridised and other 2 are sp2 hybridised to know this,use dirty method: count the number of atoms bonded with required atom and calculate: 2 atoms bonded: sp3 atoms bonded: sp24 atoms bonded: sp3 dirty method is valid for calculating hybridisation of carbon only

Predict the hybridization state of each carbon atom in allene which has the following structure:CH2 = C = CH2

Answer»

central carbon is sp hybridised and other 2 are sp2 hybridised

to know this,use dirty method:

count the number of atoms bonded with required atom and calculate:

2 atoms bonded: sp3 atoms bonded: sp24 atoms bonded: sp3

dirty method is valid for calculating hybridisation of carbon only
