The bond between carbon atoms (1) and (2) in the compound N C- (1) C H= (2) C H_2 involves the hybrid orbitals

JEE Main Chemistry question

The bond between carbon atoms (1) and (2) in the compound involves the hybrid orbitals

(A)
(B)Correct
(C)
(D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

Carbon (1), bonded to the nitrile carbon by a single bond but itself part of the double bond system, is hybridised (it has a double bond to carbon 2). Carbon (2), the terminal carbon, is also . The bond in question, however, is described between the nitrile-adjacent carbon (itself
