The correct Answer is:
To determine which carbon is sp hybridized in the given compounds, we need to analyze the hybridization of each carbon atom based on its bonding. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hybridization**: - Carbon can be sp3, sp2, or sp hybridized depending on the number of sigma and pi bonds it forms: - **sp3**: 4 sigma bonds (single bonds) - **sp2**: 1 double bond (1 sigma + 1 pi) and 2 single bonds (2 sigma) - **sp**: 1 triple bond (1 sigma + 2 pi) and 1 single bond (1 sigma) 2. **Analyzing the First Compound (CH3)**: - The carbon in CH3 forms four single bonds (to three hydrogens and one carbon). - Therefore, it is **sp3 hybridized**. 3. **Analyzing the Second Compound**: - If the second compound is something like C2H6 (ethane), each carbon forms four single bonds. - Thus, both carbons are **sp3 hybridized**. 4. **Analyzing the Third Compound (CH3CONH2NH2)**: - The carbon in the carbonyl group (C=O) forms one double bond with oxygen and two single bonds (to CH3 and NH2). - Hence, this carbon is **sp2 hybridized**. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Compound (Cyanide, CN)**: - The carbon in cyanide (C≡N) forms a triple bond with nitrogen. - Therefore, this carbon is **sp hybridized**. 6. **Conclusion**: - The carbon that is sp hybridized is the one in the cyanide compound. ### Final Answer: The underlined carbon is sp hybridized in the cyanide compound.
