Question
How many atoms are attached to an atom having a sp hybridization?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
An sp hybridized carbon forms two sigma bonds, which means it is bonded directly to two atoms. It also forms two pi bonds (as in a triple bond) or two pi bonds to two different atoms (as in an allene).
Hint
How many sigma bonds does an sp hybridized atom form?
