The state of hybridization of the triple bonded carbons in benzyne is…………….
I have drawn and attached an image of the benzyne molecule
below with the hybridization of each carbon atom written next to
it. To determine hybridization, find the regions of electron
density around the carbon atom. The 2 carbon atoms that have a
triple bond and a single bond are sp hybridized since there are
only 2 regions of electron density around them. The other 4 carbon
atoms are sp2 hybridized because they have 3 regions of electron
density around them (2 single bonds and a double bond)
