What are the shapes of ethyne and methane?
Square planar and linear
Tetrahedral and trigonal planar
Linear and tetrahedral
Trigonal planar and linear
C.
Linear and tetrahedral
Ethyne (C2H2)
Number of σ-bonds at C-atom = 2
Number of lone pair of electrons at C-atom = O
∴ Total = 2 + 0 =2
∴ Hybridisation is sp
∴ C2H2 is linear.
Methane (CH4)
Number of σ-bonds at C-atom = 4
Number of-lone pair of electrons at C-atom = 0
∴ Total·= 4+ 0 = 4
∴ Hybridisation is sp3
∴ CH4 is tetraherdal.
