Question

What is the molecular shape of acetylene?

H-C=C-H



A. ) tetrahedral

B. ) bent triatomic

C. ) pyramidal

D. ) linear

Answer 1

d) linear

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical formula of acetylene is H−C≡C−H. Here carbon atoms, as well as hydrogen atoms, lie along a line and each H−C−Cand C−C−Hbond angle is 1800. Thus acetylene has a linear structure.
