- A \( s p^{3}, s p, s p^{2} \)
- B \( s p^{3}, s p^{2}, s p \)
- C \( s p, s p^{2}, s p^{3} \)
- D \( s p^{2}, s p^{3}, s p \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \( s p^{3}, s p^{2}, s p \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The hybridization of carbon in the following compounds is given in the table below
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Compounds & Diamond & Graphite & Ethyne \\
\hline Hybridization of Carbon & \( s p^{3} \) & \( s p^{2} \) & \( \mathrm{sp} \) \\
\hline
\end{array}
