In HC≡C−CHX2−CH=CH−CHO, the numbers of sp, sp2 and sp3 hybridised carbon atoms, respectively, are
A2, 2, 2
B1, 3, 2
C2, 3, 1
D3, 2, 1
Answer: C
The two carbons of the triple bond are sp. The two alkene carbons and the aldehyde carbon (C=O) are sp2, which makes three. The only saturated carbon is the CHX2 group (sp3), giving 2, 3, 1.
