(b) What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in each molecule?

Video transcript

Hello everyone today with a foreign problem. What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in the molecule? So if we look at these from left to right, our first carbon here is said to be sp two hybridized. And that is because it is bound to three separate groups. The double bond counts as one group. And when a carbon is bound to a double group or a double bond, it is sp two hybridized, the same can be said with the next carbon, it is also bound to three groups. With that double bond being counted as one group moving on to our next carbon. It is bound to 1234 individual groups. So it is said to be sp three hybridized, our next two carbons will both be considered sp hybridized. That is because they are both bound to two different groups. One being a single bond and one being a triple bond moving on to our last and final carbon. You see that it is bound to 31234 different groups. So it is sp three hybridized. And so once again, from left to right, we have SP two SP two sp three, SPS P and SP three overall. I hope this helped. And until next time.
