  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CCl}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHBr}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CBr}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CCl}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In compound \(\stackrel{3}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2=\stackrel{2}{\mathrm{C}}=\stackrel{1}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2\), the second carbon is \(s p\) hybridised.
