The maximum number of carbon atoms arranged linearly in the molecule, $C H_{3} - C \equiv C - C H = C H_{2}$ is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The way in which the molecule is represented in question isn't how the actual shape is. The actual shape of the molecule is given below.

A compound is said to be linear when all bond angles between Carbon atoms is 180^o. The actual shape of the molecule is draw above. We can clearly see that the 4th Carbon from left has sp²hybridization and hence will have a bond angle of 120^o. Thus, the 5th Carbon is not linear with 4th carbon. Hence, only 4 Carbons are arranged linearly.
