The incorrect statement regarding ethyne is

The incorrect statement regarding ethyne is
  1. The \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}\) bonds in ethyne is shorter than that in ethene
  2. Both carbons are sp hybridised
  3. Ethyne is linear
  4. The corbon - carbon bonds in ethyne is weaker than that in ethene

Solution

The carbon-carbon bonds in ethyne is stronger than that in ethene. $(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H})$ Ethyne is linear and carbon atoms are SP hybridised.
