Assertion (A) . All the carbon atom in H...

Assertion (A) . All the carbon atom in `H_(2)C = C = CH_(2)` are `sp^(2)`-hybridised.
Reason (R). In this molecule all the carbon atoms are attached to each other by double bonds

A

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

Both A and R are not correct

D

A is not correct but R is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct assertion. The hybridisation state of carbon atoms is :
`overset((sp^(2)))(CH_(2))=overset((sp))(C)=overset((sp^(2)))(CH_(2))`
