The 'sp' hybridization is present in:
Correct answer: C. Alkyne
- A. Alkane
- B. Alkene
- C. Alkyne
- D. Cycloalkane
Explanation
Alkynes exhibit SP hybridization because they form 2 sigma bonds with 2 adjacent carbon atoms and the remaining two p-orbitals of each carbon atom form two pi bonds. This hybridization allows for the linear structure of alkynes. Alkanes, alkenes, and cycloalkanes do not display SP hybridization as they form different numbers of sigma and pi bonds, leading to SP3 or SP2 hybridization instead.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
