Draw the orbit structure of Ethyne
electrons in excited state since one electron is promoted from 2s to empty 2p orbital during chemical reaction
(1s2, 2s2, 2px12py1, 2pz0).. i. e.
Now, one 2s and one 2p orbitals undergo sp hybridization to form two sp hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy and identical shape and size which take linear geometry with bond angle 180º. Unhybridized 2pyand 2pzorbitals remain perpendicular to...
