Which of the following organic compounds has the same hybridization as its combustion product CO?
To solve this problem, we need to determine the hybridization of the carbon atoms in each compound and compare it with the hybridization of COFirst, let's find the hybridization of CO⢠CO has a linear structure with the central carbon atom forming two double bonds with oxygen atoms.⢠The hybridization of carbon in CO is Now, let's analyze each option:Option 1: Ethane (CH)⢠In ethane, each carbon atom forms four single bonds (three with hydrogen and one with another carbon).⢠The hybridization of carbon in ethane is Option 2: Ethyne (CH)⢠In ethyne, each carbon atom forms a triple bond with another carbon and a single bond with hydrogen.⢠The hybridization of carbon in ethyne is Option 3: Ethene (CH)⢠In ethene, each carbon atom forms a double bond with another carbon and two single bonds with hydrogen.⢠The hybridization of carbon in ethene is Option 4: Ethanol (CHOH)⢠In ethanol, each carbon atom forms single bonds (with hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen).⢠The hybridization of carbon in ethanol is Conclusion:⢠The hybridization of carbon in CO is ⢠The only compound with the same hybridization is ethyne.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: Ethyne.
