Question:
$\text{The correct hybridization states of carbon atoms marked as 1,2,3 in the following compound are:}$ $^1\text{CH}_3 - ^2\text{CH} = ^3\text{CH}_2$
Options:
-
1. $\text{C}_1 = \text{sp}, \text{C}_2 = \text{sp}^3, \text{C}_3 = \text{sp}^2$
-
2. $\text{C}_1 = \text{sp}^2, \text{C}_2 = \text{sp}^3, \text{C}_3 = \text{sp}^3$
-
3. $\text{C}_1 = \text{sp}^3, \text{C}_2 = \text{sp}^2, \text{C}_3 = \text{sp}^2$
(Correct)
-
4. $\text{C}_1 = \text{sp}^3, \text{C}_2 = \text{sp}^3, \text{C}_3 = \text{sp}^3$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: Double-bond carbon is sp}^2 \text{ hybridized, triple-bond carbon is sp hybridized and single-bond carbon is sp}^3 \text{ hybridized.}$ $\text{Step 1: Draw the structure of the compound}$ $\text{CH}_3 - \text{CH} = \text{CH}_2$ $\text{sp}^3 \quad \text{sp}^2 \quad \text{sp}^2$ $\text{When carbon is bonded to four other atoms (with no lone electron pairs), the hybridization is sp}^3 \text{ and the arrangement is tetrahedral. Carbon is sp hybridization which occurs when carbon is bound to two other atoms (two double bonds or one single + one triple bond)}$ $\text{Step 2: A carbon atom bound to three atoms (two single bonds, one double bond) is sp2 hybridized and forms a flat trigonal or triangular arrangement with 120° angles between bonds.}$ $\text{Carbon - sp}^2 \text{ hybridization: A carbon atom bound to three atoms (two single bonds, one double bond) is sp}^2 \text{ hybridized and forms a flat trigonal or triangular arrangement with 120° angles between bonds. Notice that acetic acid contains one sp}^2 \text{ carbon atom and one sp}^3 \text{ carbon atom.}$ $\text{Hence the correct option is 3.}$ $\text{CH}_3 - \text{CH} = \text{CH}_2$ $\text{sp}^3 \quad \text{sp}^2 \quad \text{sp}^2$
