The molecule of 
has 180° bond angle. It can be explanid on the basis of
A
hybridisation
B
hybridisation
C
hybridisation
D
hybridisation
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
; 
In the formation of 
molecule, hybridization of orbitals of carbon occur only to a limited extent involving only one s and one p orbitals there is thus sp hybridisation of valence shell orbitals of the carbon atom resulting in the formation of two sp hybrid orbitals.
