Give the hybridization for the C in HCN

Explanation:

In HCN,

Carbon is singly - bonded ( 1 sigma bond ) to Hydrogen while triply - bonded ( 1 sigma, 2 pi bonds) to Nitrogen.

Thus, the Stearic No. for Carbons is:

= No. of sigma bonds + No. of lone pairs

= 2 + 0

= 2

According to Stearic No.:

=> sp = 2

=> sp² = 3

=> sp³ = 4

Hence,

The hybridization of C in HCN is sp.

Hope this helped!

b

explanation:

mitosis

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
