Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin prepared a linear allotrope of carbon in 1998.What is the hybridization of its atomic orbitals?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The linear allotrope of carbon prepared by researchers, known as carbyne, involves carbon atoms bonded in a chain with alternating single and triple bonds (or double bonds), which requires sp hybridization for the linear geometry and alternating bonding pattern.
