In allene \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{4}\right)\), the type(s) of hybridisation of the carbon atoms is (are):

  1. A \(s p\) and \(s p^{3}\)
  2. B \(s p\) and \(s p^{2}\)
  3. C only \(s p^{3}\)
  4. D \(s p^{2}\) and \(s p^{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(s p\) and \(s p^{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Allene \(\left(\mathbf{C}_{3} \mathbf{H}_{4}\right)\) is \(\stackrel{s p^{2}}{\mathrm{H}_{2}} \mathrm{C}=\stackrel{s p}{\mathrm{C}}=\stackrel{s p^{2}}{\mathrm{CH}_{2}}\)
