The hybrid orbitals used by the underlined atoms in CH₃CHCHCN,from left to right,respectively,are A)sp³ and sp. B)sp² and sp. C)sp² and sp³. D)sp² and sp². E)sp and sp³.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The underlined atoms are the carbon atoms in the CH=CH group and the CN group. The first carbon in CH=CH is sp² hybridized due to the double bond, and the carbon in the CN group is sp hybridized due to the triple bond.
