The state of hybridization of $\mathrm{C}_2, \mathrm{C}_3, \mathrm{C}_5$ and $\mathrm{C}_6$ of the hydrocarbon - is in the following sequence :
  1. $\mathrm{sp}, \mathrm{sp}^2, \mathrm{sp}^3$ and $\mathrm{sp}^2$
  2. $\mathrm{sp}, \mathrm{sp}^3, \mathrm{sp}^2$ and $\mathrm{sp}^3$
  3. $\mathrm{sp}^3, \mathrm{sp}^2, \mathrm{sp}^2$ and $\mathrm{sp}$
  4. $\mathrm{sp}, \mathrm{sp}^2, \mathrm{sp}^2$ and $\mathrm{sp}^3$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_2 \text { having } \rightarrow 2-\sigma \text { bond } \rightarrow \mathrm{sp} \\ & \mathrm{C}_3 \text { having } \rightarrow 4-\sigma \text { bond } \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3 \\ & \mathrm{C}_5 \text { having } \rightarrow 3-\sigma \text { bond } \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^2 \\ & \mathrm{C}_6 \text { having } \rightarrow 4-\sigma \text { bond } \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3 \end{aligned}$
