MHT CET 2025 Chemistry question

Which among the following statements is true for haloalkyne?

(A)Halogen atom is bonded to 'sp' hybridized carbon atomCorrect
(B)Halogen atom is bonded to 'sp' hybridised carbon atom of aliphatic chain
(C)Halogen atom is bonded to 'sp' hybridised carbon atom next to a carbon-carbon double bond
(D)Halogen atom is bonded to 'sp' hybridised carbon atom of aromatic ring

Answer: (A)

Solution

In a haloalkyne (alkynyl halide), the halogen is attached directly to a carbon of the triple bond, e.g. ; that carbon is sp hybridised. Hence option (A). Option (B) describes a vinylic halide
