Considering the state of hybridization of carbon atoms, find out the molecule among the following which is linear.

  • CH3 - C ≡ C - CH3

  • CH2 = CH - CH2 - C ≡ CH

  • CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

  • CH3 - CH = CH - CH3

Answer

A.

CH3 - C ≡ C - CH3

CH3 - C ≡ C - CH3 linear, because C2 and C3 are sp hybridised.
