Which of the following molecules is an example of sp hybridization?
  1. Methane
  2. Acetylene
  3. Ethylene
  4. Ammonia

Solution

Methane $\left(\mathrm{CH}_4\right)-\mathrm{sp}^3$ hybridisation Acetylene $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_2\right)$ - sp hybridisation Ethylene $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\right)-\mathrm{sp}^2$ hybridisation Ammonia $\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)-\mathrm{sp}^3$ hybridisation
