Draw the Lewis structure for C₂H₂. What is the hybridization on the C atoms?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Lewis structure for C₂H₂ is: S / \ C S \ / C It can be observed that the carbon atoms are each bonded to two other atoms, and there are no lone pairs of electrons present on the carbons. This indicates that the hybridization on the carbons is sp. Option A is the only choice that suggests sp hybridization on the carbon atoms, making it the correct choice.
