Question

1,2-Butadiene has
Options
A only sp hybridized carbon atoms
B only sp2 hybridized carbon atoms
C only sp3 hybridized carbon atoms
D sp, sp2, sp3 hybridized carbon atoms
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

1,2-Butadiene (CH2=C=CH-CH3) has: C1 - sp2 (CH2), C2 - sp (central carbon with two double bonds), C3 - sp2 (CH), and C4 - sp3 (CH3). So it has sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridized carbons.

Hint

What are the hybridizations of carbons in an allene?
