Question

In acetylene, what forms the C-C sigma bond?
Options
A The 2p orbitals overlapping sidewise
B The other sp hybrid orbital of carbon overlapping with the sp hybrid orbital of adjacent carbon along the axis
Correct Answer
C The 1s orbitals
D The 2s orbitals
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In acetylene, the other sp hybrid orbital of carbon atom overlaps with the sp hybrid orbital of adjacent carbon atom along the axis to form C-C sigma bond.

Hint

The notes describe this axial overlap.
