Consider a carbon atom that is part of a triple bond in an ethyne molecule (H-C ≡ C-H).
What is the hybridization of this carbon atom, and what is the resulting molecular geometry around it?
- Dsp² hybridization; square planar
- Sp³ hybridization; tetrahedral
- Sp hybridization; linear
- Sp² hybridization; trigonal planar
