The carbon atoms of CHX3−CH=CH−C≡CH are numbered 1 to 5 from the left. Their hybridisation states, in order, are
Asp3,sp2,sp2,sp2,sp
Bsp3,sp2,sp2,sp,sp
Csp3,sp3,sp2,sp,sp
Dsp2,sp2,sp2,sp,sp
Answer: B
Hybridisation follows the number of sigma bonds plus lone pairs. C1 has four single bonds (sp3), C2 and C3 each carry a double bond (sp2), and C4 and C5 each carry a triple bond (sp). The order is sp3,sp2,sp2,sp,sp.
