The pair of electron in the given carbanion, C H 3 C ≡ C ⊖ is present in which of the following orbitals?

The pair of electron in the given carbanion, CH3CC  is present in which of the following orbitals?
  1. 2p
  2. sp3
  3. sp2
  4. sp

Solution

CH3-CC  : In the carbanion, the carbon is having 1 sigma bond, 2π bonds and 1 lone pair therefore C is sp hybridized and lone pair is present in hybridised orbital.
