although the C is double bonded to two C's, it's structure is linear. so it is sp hybridised

hi..
the unserlined carbon is forming 2 pie-bonds, one on each side. Hence it must have two unhybridized orbitlas. Also its forming 2 sigma bonda with two carbon atoms, one on each side, so they must be formed by hybridized orbitals..

hence two hybridized orbitals and two unhybridized orbitals.. what u obtain in the case of sp-hybridisation...

hope its v.clear...

Also, these class of compounds are called as allenes or "cumulated dienes".


A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure. So imagine how brilliant a human being can be by sustaining pressures of life. Be hopeful.. and fight till end.

1. appliable for C.N.O and neutral molecule
 
 
pi bond                  hybridisation
 0                           sp3
 1                            sp2
 2                             sp
 
 
 
 
2. and for all molecule
 
N = 1/2[ no. of valence electron in d central atom + no. of electron of monovalent atom(H,F,Cl,Br,I) - charge of cation + charge of anion ]
 
N= 2 - sp
    3 - sp2
    4 - sp3
    5 - sp3d
    6 - sp3d2
    7 - sp3d3
 this is applicable for molecules having one central atom
 
3.  no. of siga bond + no. of lone pairs on central atom
hope itz helpfull n rate me if so

2 sigma bonds + 0 lone pairs = sp

Hello my dear...
 
see.. i strongly suggest NOT TO USE ANY FORMULA FOR HYBTIDISATION...
 
go by the basic funda.. as i explained in my previous reply...
 
okk.. with ur logic (@ ankur and spidy...) .. Oxygen in furan shud b sp3 hybridised.. as it does not have any pie-bonds in da structure... and you already know its SPnot sp3 . See, any novice with ur logic will end up in trouble..
 
yaar unko funda sikhaao... formula nahin !!!!!!!!
 
and again how do you manage to calculate the hybridisation of Mn and Cr in KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7 by using formula no. 2 ?? ... and u sill dunno whether its sp3 or dsp2 ?
 
(sorry... no hard feelings for anyone )

The underlined carbon has double bond on either side, i.e., one sigma and one pi bond. Hence the hybid state of the carbon will be sp, because in this hybridisation carbon can form one sigma bond on either side. The pi bonds are formed using the unhybridised p orbitals. Refer to structure of allene.
