Is it possible for an sp hybridized atom to be bonded to a sp²hybridized atom within the same molecule? Why?ONo; the different hybridizations cannot beaccommodated geometrically in the moleculeONo; hybridization of atoms is usually the same withina moleculeYes; the hybridization of each atom in a moleculedoes not have to be identicalYes; both hybridizations involve the same subshellsand are essentially the same

Answer:- This question is answered by using the simple concept of hybridization which involves the…
