Which of the following organic compounds has the same hybridization as its combustion product, CO2?
Ethene
Ethanol
Ethane
Ethyne
Solution:
The structure of CO2 is as follows: O=C=O. Here, carbon is sp hybridized. The structure of ethyne is as follows: CH≡CH. Here also, both carbon atoms are sp hybridized. Therefore, the correct option is Ethyne.
